We would prefer a house or duplex/half double.

Sorry the topic name should've been "Affordable, safe neighborhood near Westlake OH" .... my computer pre-filled this instead. HA :laugh:

Me, my fiancee and our 2 children ( a 14 month old boy and newborn girl) are going to be relocating to the cleveland oh area around 6/1/08. Our good friends live in Westlake and my fiancee and our friend will be working together commuting to Cinncinati. I work in the customer service/ claims processing field for dental and medical insurances. I know Westlake is extremely expensive and we will be renters not buyers. What cities/neighborhoods are safe (especially for young children) and have rent prices between $500-$600 for a 2-3 bedroom? We are a very laid back young couple (26 and 34) and are very open minded and love all sorts of culture. Any help is appreciated. Through my own research I came up with North Olmsted, Bay Village, Fairview Park, Parkview, River Edge, Olmsted Falls, Lakewood, Brook Park, North Ridgeville, Middleburg Heights, Berea, Parma Heights, Parma, Cuyahoga Heights, Elyria. Any opions on these towns. thanks
