Whether you buy a homesite in the School Section, broad acres in the Shaker Country Estates,
or one of the houses offered by this company in a choice of neighborhoods, your purchase
includes facilities for golf, riding, tennis, boating; it includes unexcelled schools; and it
includes protection forever against depreciation and unwelcome change.
—Advertisement, The Van Sweringen Company, Creators and Developers of Shaker Village
Actually, though, all things considered, people from Shaker Heights are basically pretty much
like people everywhere else in America. They may have three or four cars instead of one or
two, and they may have two television sets instead of one, and when a Shaker Heights girl
gets married she may have a reception for eight hundred, with the Meyer Davis band flown in
from New York, instead of a wedding reception for a hundred with a local band, but these are
all differences of degree rather than fundamental differences. “We’re friendly people and we
have a wonderful time!” said a woman at the Shaker Heights Country Club recently, and she
was right, for the inhabitants of Utopia do, in fact, appear to lead a rather happy life.
—“The Good Life in Shaker Heights,” Cosmopolitan, March 1963
