I am not too worried about the winter driving, been doing it in Chicago for so long that it does not bother me anymore. Thank you AWD.... I just looked at some pictures of homes in ohio city and have to say there are some beautiful homes there. Reminds me somewhat of logan square here in Chicago. What I like about wicker park Punch, is that everything is walking distance. If we feel like eating out, there is a variety of places. Shopping is also a stones throw away, and there is always something going on, but at the same time it still has a quiet side that I can just walk around and enjoy the neighborhood.

Thanks for all the info guys. I have a lot to think and search for housing. Knowing traffic patterns, is adding a few minutes to my commute like Lakewood a big deal. I am accustomed to sitting in traffic for at least an hour only to travel 20 miles! Is anyone a teacher in cleveland? My wife was wondering if she would be able to get a job as a substitute with her Illinois certification or if she would also need to be ohio certified. Not really sure what that means but if you work for the system I assume you do. I will be taking a trip next week to visit a few of these locations, wish me luck.

Thanks for all the info, very helpful. I did want to take a look into the Tremont area as I have been researching that area the most. Can anyone fill me in on more info of Lakewood? Little Italy sounds like a good option as well. Mayday, my daughter will be 2 in march so we have been looking at possibly enrolling her for a few hours in a montesorri school. My wife is a teacher in Chicago, and she is planning on returning to school for her masters in school counseling while in Cleveland. Great opportunity for her since she will not beable to use her degree in here.

First of let me start by saying what a great place for information on cleveland. I just got offererd a great job in cleveland and it looks like I will jump on the opportunity. Problem I have is that I was practically born and raised in Chicago, wicker park area and love the city life. Great restaurants, grocery stores, and great parks for me and my wife to take our daughter out. Problem I have found is that the areas we are interested in like the Warehouse district seem to be more on the singles crowd than the family. Don't get me wrong we aren't opposed to it but with a daughter we have other concerns in our lives now. I guess what I am basically looking for is a safe neighborhood that my wife can freely and safely walk to explore. We currently pay 1400 for a two bedroom 1800sqft apartment and would like something similar in size and cost. One more thing, I will be working in Medina so I would like to keep my commute down to 30min. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
