Bainbridge, OH (CDP)

Bainbridge is a Geauga County community east of Cleveland, usually understood through Bainbridge Township and the Chagrin Valley area. It is suburban and semi-rural at once, with wooded roads, large lots, shopping near Route 306 and U.S. 422, and access to nearby Chagrin Falls. The area has schools and a quieter feel than Cleveland's inner suburbs. Bainbridge is not defined by a dense downtown; its character comes from township living, preserved green space, and commuter access to the eastern Cleveland job market.
