Q-dogg

Okay gang, I'm planning a trip to Cleveland to go apartment hunting. :clap: I have nailed it down to a decent-sized nuber of listings to check out. Now, my task is to set up appointment times in the most efficient way so that I'm not driving back and forth to the same areas. If possible, I'd like to attack :shoot: all of the apartment searches in one area before moving to the next. To this end, I thought I'd post a list of apartents I want to check out. I need your help in determining which ones I can cluster in the same area. Thanks! Tremont Place Lofts Perry Payne Apartments Bridgeview Apartments Residences at Stonebridge Residences at 668 A private condo for rent in Warehouse district, another in Cleveland Heights, and another in Little Italy Murray Hill Condos (pending availability-- but let's throw it in the list for now) A private condo for rent in Ohio City -- located accross from West Side Market That's it for now, but if I add more, at least this will help me get a sense of the lay of the land with where some of these places are relative toone another. Thanks again!

Yes, very, very useful indeed. I hadn't thought of these two items, but they are indeed key. Thanks a million.

The deal I'm referring to is that listed on yahoo's real estate/rental website. Its under $600 for an apartment b/w 750 and 1000 square feet, under $1000 for a place between 900-2400 sq ft. Big spreads, and I'd expect that these exact rates may not be those offered on further inquiry, but if they're close to what they are advertising, sounds like a good deal on 1st impression. Of course, I'd have to see it to see exactly what is being offered. http://www.apartments.com/partner/summary.aspx?page=summary&property=102905.61&p=Yahoore&partner=Yahoore

Thank you to everyone for the useful posts. This is great. I'll likely plan a trip to Cleveland next week to do some prelim apartment searches. I do have another question (for now-- I'm sure more will follow). I found an apartment complex online called National Terminal, which offers a really good deal. It makes me wonder if this is located in a bad area. The address is 1215 W 10th St (44113 zip code.) Is anyone familiar with this building or the location? The website I encountered is below. Any input on this would be appreciated. Thanks! http://www.apartments.com/partner/cvcommunity.aspx?page=cvcommunity&view=1&property=102905.61&p=Yahoore&prvpg=1067&partner=Yahoore&prvpg=1067#Amenities

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful replies. This is very helpful. My initial budget is ranging from 1200-1500. It would be my first bike. I found 2 bikes that I really liked and fit me well, both all carbon. One is the Felt Z45, and the other-- which is 700 above my budget (making me wonder if I should reconsider my initial high-end figure) is a BH speedrom. I'm not sure what components they have, but would look into this before making the purchase. Any suggestions? Does anyone know about these bikes? Thanks!

Does anyone know of any good hot :evil: yoga studios in Cleveland? I have been going to agreat yoga studio in Pittsburgh called Amazing yoga, which practices the Baptiste style. I'd be interested in a studio that also does Baptiste or in Bikram. Thanks!

Great-- thanks for the advice. I live in Shady Side right now, which I love. I also like the South Side. One thing I forgot to mention in my post: I'm a fan of Yoga, spinning, and weight training. Ideally, I'd like to live in an area where there's a good gym and some cool :wink2: hot :whip: yoga studios around as well. Thanks!

Sweet!! :clap: Any idea of which apartment buildings to look into when I go apartment hunting? Thanks!

I am planning a move to Cleveland potentially in the next month. I am also considering taking up road biking (bicycle, not motor cycle), making a hefty investment on a road bike. Before commiting to this, however, I wanted to get a sense of how friendly of a city Cleveland is toward road bikers. Any input? Is road biking popular, and are there groups of bicyclers who go out on rides? Finally, does anyone know of a good bike store around the Cleveland Clinic area that offers good deals on bike sales and service? Thanks.

Hi, I am a 31 yo single male professional who is considering a career move to Cleveland from Pittsburgh, PA, where I would be working at the Cleveland Clinic. I'm looking for recommendations for where to get a condo/loft-type apartment for rent during my 1st year, while I better acquaint myself with the area before buying something. My budget is approximately $1000-1300 for my monthly rent + utilities. I am seeking a 1-2 BR apartment with indoor parking, central AC, dish washer, washer and dryer either in the unit or shared, and preferably a doorman for security. Given the cold winters, I'd like something that will be relatively well insulated. Regarding the location, I don't know much about the city's layout. I would like to be within a 5-10 minute drive to the Cleveland Clinic's main campus. As I am young and single, it would also be nice to live in close proximity to a hip area with restaurants, some night life, other young professionals around, a local gym, healthy grocery stores (i.e., whole foods, trader Jo's, etc.) In addition to general living areas, what would be more helpful is if anyone can recommend specific apartment rental buildings to check out. Also, what do you think about living in the warehouse district, and do you know of any good apartments to rent in that area? Thanks.
