Local Landmarks
- Beachcliff Market Square — 19310 Detroit Road; outdoor shopping center built around the 1937 art deco Beachcliff Theater marquee. The original theater (opened 1937 with "Sing and Be Happy" starring Joan Davis and Tony Martin) closed in the mid-1970s and was redeveloped in 1985, then redesigned in 2007.
- The Westgate — Originally Westgate Mall (1954) at Center Ridge Road and W 210th, this was the first suburban shopping mall in Ohio and one of the first post-war suburban retail centers in the United States. Redeveloped in 2007 as an outdoor shopping center anchored by Target, Lowe's, Marshalls, and Kohl's.
- Cleveland Metroparks Rocky River Reservation — The Rocky River main stem runs through a deep valley with shale cliffs descending up to 150 feet below street level; ranked by Field & Stream as one of the world's top steelhead trout rivers, with the Valley Parkway providing access to hiking, biking, and picnic areas.
- Rocky River Public Library & Cowan Pottery Museum — 1600 Hampton Road; houses the Cowan Pottery Museum preserving the legacy of R. Guy Cowan's nationally significant 1920s art pottery studio whose workers lived in the Parsons/Allen/Smith Court area between Lake and Detroit Roads.
- Beach Cliff neighborhood and Bradstreet's Landing Park — Historic luxury subdivision (originally Oakwood-on-the-Lake) extending from the west bank of the Rocky River Valley to the Lake Erie shore; the winding Beach Cliff Boulevard's labyrinth of streets earned the area the nickname "Tangletown."
