A Message from the Mayor

Welcome to the City of University Heights!


              Mayor Susan K. Infeld

Known as the "City of Beautiful Homes," University Heights is home to John Carroll University, a nationally-recognized Jesuit university. Our location gives us quick access to public transportation and we are only a short drive to University Circle, downtown and the Metroparks. 

We are a walkable community with pleasant small-town features such as:  neighborhood block parties; the Memorial Day parade (approaching its 50th anniversary); a great outdoor pool and park; recreation programs such as tennis leagues for children and adults, and free arts & crafts programs for children; summertime outdoor band concerts with free ice cream; and complimentary lectures offered to the community by distinguished professors at John Carroll University.

Besides the recreation programming available at our municipal pool and park, University Heights has a shared recreation arrangement with the City of Shaker Heights for ice skating at Thornton Park, and with the cities of South Euclid and Lyndhurst for community service programming such as jazzercise, cooking classes and home repair classes. 

We have easy access to a multitude of school choices, all within walking distance, including private prep schools, blue-ribbon award winning parochial schools, and a public school system nationally known for musical excellence.

In short, University Heights is a great place to live and raise a family. Please get to know our community and immerse yourself in what makes University Heights unique.  Take some time to shop at Whole Foods, Macy?s and any of our other 85 businesses.  Refresh yourself on a hot day with a swim in the pool at Purvis Park.  Feed your intellectual curiosity and absorb the climate of knowledge while walking the campus of John Carroll University.  Enjoy the architecture of our beautiful homes as you walk along our tree-lined streets.  You will soon see what those of us who live here have come to know as a wonderful community.  Welcome to our town!

Regards,
