Beachwood Place

Relative to all malls of the world I’ve ever been to, Beachwood Place is among the most elegant, well-​decorated, and cleanest that’s out there. In a world where shopping malls are struggling to find relevance, this one seems to thrive with a beautiful food court, great dining options and shops I like such as the Lego Store (duh). Parking is easy. There’s also this Shaitsu massage center on the second floor towards Nordstrom that offers a good heavy pressure massage if you need your muscles tenderized. I think the 80’s just called and it found it’s perfect mall, but with millennial upgrades and sensibilities. 4 stars.

Decent mall but I am originally from New Jersey and this mall is tiny by our standards. The anchor stores are upscale, Sak’s and Nordstrom’s, they have nice stuff but they aren’t for the light of wallet folks.
The mall is clean and there is usually plenty of parking.
The real draw is the area, there is Legacy Village and a ton of good restaurants around.
There is a place in the mall called the Pub and I have really been looking to check it out. They have all the British classics like Shepard’s Pie and Fish and chips.
Overall the nicest mall in the area just very small and very expensive.

Visiting Mayfield Heights & had some time to kill, pretty good way to spend my time here. I was able to get some great food in the food court & the stores were fun to look around in. Nothing special as far as malls are concerned but it was an enjoyable time.

We travel from Avon Lake to shop at Beachwood and Legacy about every two months or so. Daughters enjoy the upscale shops and selection.

After what happened around Christmas last year its hard to get any service here as a person of color. Forget walking into Nordstrom and getting greeted or asked of you need help. The quality of service for those of color has severely dropped at even the cheapest stores like Forever 21 and its clear that I’m unwelcome here. The atmosphere has changed since the last time I was here and it’s safe to say I’ll probably find a new mall to go to when I’m in the Cleveland area.

This mall traditionally caters to the upscale clientele, they have some pricier items in stores but they do have stores that are reasonable for all. You really can find some nice things here if you are looking for stuff that you might not find in other malls in the area. They did make this mall pretty nice inside and looks up to date. Always a nice shopping experience at Beachwood Place.

I couldn’t have survived living in Cleveland without this mall. Beachwood is the only indoor upscale mall in the area. It has high end department stores– SFA and Nordstrom (but don’t expect the selection to be what you see in NYC or Chicago). Somewhat more recently, they opened a Kate Spade, Art of Shaving, and Lego store.
It is a beautiful and well maintained mall; but it is a little difficult to navigate. It isn’t a large mall, just has a strange lay out.
All that said, this mall isn’t all that it used to be. There were more upscale boutiques with unique designer goods. Forever 21, H&M, etc seem to have replaced them. There are more annoying kiosks in the mall. Also, Beachwood has become a hang out for teenagers.
Despite all this, it is still a decent place to shop.

Beachwood Place is my FAVORITE mall to shop! I can find just about everything I need in here. Most of the stores that I shop in are at this mall (Forever21, Gap, Children’s Place, etc.). And they offer everything that I’m looking for. Glad to say there’s a mall close to home that offers the stores I like, doesn’t look shabby and is a nice area. I love the fact that it’s always clean, even the restrooms, when I go. I can enjoy a day of shopping without being irritated by clutter inside and outside of the store. Cool spot to gather with friends and hang out. Nice size food court too!

Its okay…

Lots of shops and a nicer mall.

Mall security doesn’t do their job and they do not protect their costumers from a racist retail business owners in the mall. The food court doesn’t have much good foods. The Charlie’s sandwich place have lots of Mexican people working there but they are really racist against everyone expect their people. If you are not Mexican you will be insulted by your race. Charlie’s have the most racist people working there. You have to stay away from that place if you still want to enjoy your shopping.

This is my favorite mall in NE Ohio. It’s not overwhelming in size, but still big enough to have a great selection of stores. H&M, Gap, Banana Republic, Lacoste, Art of Shaving, l’Occitane, and more, can all be found at Beachwood! The food court offers some fun dining options, including Chick-​Fil-​A. Parking is ample and easy to find.

Good mall and opens 2 hours prior to stores for indoor walking in this crazy cleveland weather. The layout is a little odd and the stores are high end so don’t go here looking for cheap shopping! nice family restrooms. Wish there was an up and DOWN escalator at the front — instead you have to head to the middle of the mall to get down/​out. Recommend Fresh Express if you are eating — enjoy!

Beachwood Place is the place you go to spend money. The mall is anchored by Dillards, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, and features stores such as Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Swarvoski, Tumi, Lacoste, Microsoft, and more.
In my world, if a mall is going to be glamorous it needs to be fully dedicated to it. There is a H&M, Forever 21, Next, Express, Gap which are ok for some but not expected in an upscale mall. Don’t get me wrong, these stores are fine, but Beachwood is not large enough to support a blend of budget conscious stores and high end stores. I foresee either more budget stores or luxury stores, it can be tipped either way, but definitely not a blend in the future.
What can be done to improve? The food court is brand new, so that would be too expensive to move or expand. They could however switch out some of the less healthy options such as Charlie’s subs and Asian Chao and replace with more healthy and sophisticated places. Again, this is is something that is affordable.
Next, I would switch out some of the non-​premium brands and replace with more high end brands. Stores such as Aeropostale, and Abercrombie could be replaced as their companies are already in trouble and at risk to go out of business. They could be switched out for stores such as Vince, Burberry, Rag & Bone, Theory, Tory Burch, etc. Most of these are newer brands that have potential to expand and have the market already from shoppers such at Saks.
Finally, get rid of Dillard’s. They have enough stores in the area, and do not cater that well to the area with product selection (mature shoppers). Probable replacement could be either A) Neiman Marcus to continue upscale or they could go new wave with Uniqlo/​Topshop if they want to keep the luxury/​affordable mix.
All in all, a decent place to shop but not worth a roadtrip. A better mall with the luxury/​affordable duo is Somerset Collection in Troy, MI.

When I was a student at CWRU, we spent the first few months of freshman year going to Legacy Village, before we knew better. After that, we headed pretty exclusively to Beachwood. Although many stores are a little upscale/​pricey for a college student budget, there are definitely some stores that are well worth the trip!
For example, they have a decent-​sized H&M. That was always one of the highlights of our trips. Forever 21 is nice on a college budget too. I remember one trip in particular where my best friend and I splurged on some BeBe dresses one summer before going out.
I love that you never have to worry about parking. They have a HUGE parking lot.
They have pretty standard food court options, plus a Chik-​Fil-​A. Although I disagree with some of their stances, it was DELICIOUS! Also, my sorority’s philanthropy was domestic violence awareness and prevention, and one year I got the manager to donate a year’s supply of Chik-​Fil-​A as a raffle prize, so kudos to them!
It was kind of a pain to get to it sometimes, especially if you went after 5 (hello, traffic up Cedar!) but it was worth it. I will always have fond memories of this mall and miss it!

Nice upscale indoor mall with well known stores such as Nordstrom, Victoria Secret, Sephorah, Saks Fifth and Dillard’s. Also plenty of specialty clothing, electronic, Heath care and jewelry stores. Microsoft, BrookStone, Pandora, Swarovski, Origin, Teavana, Lacoste, The Art of Shaving to name a few.
Most stores are a bit pricy. Nice décor. Food court is ok if you enjoy pizza, pretzels, subs or Chinese. There is the fresh café if you want a healthy alternative. There is an Ohio Savings ATM in house.
Overall, great place to go to explore latest consumer products and services.

Very nice mall with Saks, Nordstrom, Sephora, Madewell, etc. The Food Court is a little light on options, but overall definitely worth stopping here!

Good shopping experience, not too busy on a holiday weekend. I am assuming because it was such a nice day and no one wanted to be cooped up! Good selection of stores and nice restaurants. Parking can be a bit of a problem.

I’ve lived within walking distance of Beachwood Place for about 15 years, so I can remember many changes and remodels that this mall has gone through.
This is a mid-​sized mall with a more upscale feeling. They are home to two of the highest-​end department stores in the Cleveland area, Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom. The mall has been trying to open up smaller higher-​end shops in recent years, such as Kate Spade and Coach, but also some more affordable options like Forever 21, so it caters to a variety of price-​ranges. The food court is pretty average in terms of its offerings, with about seven or eight different booths that you can find in malls around the country. It does have TVs and couches, which I appreciate if you just feel like lounging around.
I have noticed that there are certainly less people at Beachwood Place as there were ten years ago. That could be due to a number of outside factors, but I feel that this mall has generally declined over the years. For example, stores frequently open, and then close a few months later, or they close and reopen in a new location in the mall, which makes navigating the mall a bit confusing at times. Besides that, I feel that the quality of the merchandise in the longer-​lasting stores has definitely declined, while prices have remained the same.
I do think that the mall is poised for an upswing, though. With all its remodels, its more inviting aesthetically than its ever been. Hopefully, with the right combination of stores, this mall can regain its old glory!

Beachwood Place is a great place if you’re looking to try and find a gift to impress or shop for a special occasion. There are tons of nice shops like Sephora, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstom’s, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic and so on… but also some more reasonable places like H&M, American Eagle and Gap.
The only thing I can’t stand is the massive TV in the food court on the wall. It’s always blaring a ridiculous news channel with terrible «oh, we forgot to double check our sources» eye-​catching dramatic headline starring an opinionated balding male and his «Excuse me, I’m a serious reporter» bimbo wearing a low cut top and an abundance of self tanner. I’m not sure if the mall has any choice of the matter.
Overall, this is a nice posh to semi-​posh place to shop if you’re looking for something to wear, bring, gift for an occasion. Happy shopping! x
