CSU Housing has given a couple of leads but I want more "adult" housing. I am not the average student, I'm 40 so I don't want to live in a dorm or share with younger students. I'm not against it just don't want it as my only option. Based on my research so far, I am looking at places in Lakewood and Shaker Square. I am just hestitant to sign a lease without some unbiased opinons. BTW, you all are wonderful. I really appreciate you taking the time to PM, respond and think about the areas.

Thanks so much to both of you. Sorry if I sounded too panicky! I just have so little time to properly prepare and research adequately. I have never been to Cleveland and know nothing about the areas or communities. I am glad I found this site the posts are very informative. I decided today to drive so I will have a car but I do want to be near the bus and train routes. I would prefer a small hassle free commute. You have provided some insight. AMN, I would like to know more about the apartment, especially if I could sublease. I will PM you. RockandRoller (i'll call you RnR), thanks for the insight about craigslist and commute. I really appreciate the woman's outlook. The Reserve is currently about 1700+ which is out of my range since I am taking time from work and paying a mortgage in Texas. Are there any other places that I could look online? Do you know of any apartment finders?

I am moving to Cleveland to attend law school at CSU. I currently live in Austin, TX. I have looked at craigslist, pluggedin, and the daily online newspaper. It is very hard to get an idea for the city and where I should live. Unfortunately, I am coming to Cleveland for summer classes in May and then I have to come back to sell my house and move the rest of my belongings. I am looking for a small place that is safe for a single woman. I am married but my husband will remain here until we move in August Since we are currently paying a mortgage, I need a place in Cleveland that is reasonable but safe. I am scared to sign a lease without knowing more about certain areas and buildings. Does anyone have any ideas about safe apartments on the RTA line that may have short-term leases? Any other suggestions for my situation. Thanks for all suggestions and assistance.
