MyTwoSense...I see where your heart is! :-o) The Eastside is great...some family members live in Cleveland Heights, my sister just moved and is selling her house after 14 years...she has fallen in love with the Detroit/Shoreway area.

Wow...this is all great input and gives me a lot to consider and think about! I have spoken with and visited a couple I know who lives off of Herman near Battery Park; they are very enthusiastic about the gentrification of the Detroit/Shoreway area...there has been lots of buzz about it's growth and potential. I grew up in Cleveland Heights and have lived in the Shaker Sqare/Larchmere area as a single young adult; currently most of my time is spent Downtown/Near Downtown, and the west side of Cleveland. Since I do have friends who live in the Detroit/Shoreway area...anyone living in Tremont and Ohio City want to chime in?

Morning Theft...the "family orientation" of the neighborhood is definately an attraction; it is also nice to hear the possibility of a grocery store coming soon...taking it all into consideration. Thanks!

MyTwoSense...I have considered Detroit/Shoreway but have put that area on the back burner. Old Brooklyn is a consideration along with Edgewater, besides Tremont and Ohio City. I have specifically found homes I really like in Ohio City and West Park...have not searched Old Brooklyn as of yet. Currently I reside in the Warehouse District...really like it, love the diversity and the access to restaurants. I shop at the west side market, Dave's and off of Brookpark road...WALMART, Super KMart, and Giant Eagle just to name a few. Contantino's market offers next door quick convenient shopping. I'm also a Marc's shopper...lots of different locations. I'm not a Mall shopper, prefer TJMaxx and Marshall's but do visit Malls at times; various locations. I love the clean, tailored neighborhood of West Park but it seems a little boring...big difference from downtown living! That's where Tremont and Ohio City come in, like the feel and activity of the area but a bit concerned about safety. I actually feel pretty safe in the warehouse district; of course I make it a point to be aware of my surroundings and practice safety precausions. My husband and I are interested in a single family home, in an area that offers convenient shopping, and where we can feel safe and comfortable walking around at different times of the day/night in all respects.

Jar3232...thanks for information; I was forwarded an email with the information about the "All-Access" home and bike tour...I will definately try to check it out!

I have been thinking about purchasing a house in West Park; it is an area that is populated with quite a few members of the Cleveland Police and Fire Department. Recently the residency restrictions have been lifted and it seems some are concerned about the area declining. Is the presence of law inforcement that strong that you believe it will have a drastic impact on the area due to the lifting of the residency restriction? Also, I am interested in opinions about diversity in the area. I have also considered Tremont and Ohio City; these areas really seem to be up and coming, and offer more diversity. I have read that for the "long term" home owner...these are the areas that will improve in value more so than West Park.

I have been thinking about purchasing a house in West Park; it is an area that is populated with quite a few members of the Cleveland Police and Fire Department. However, I am interested in opinions about diversity in the area. It seems to be a moderately safe community compared to other areas of interest; such as Tremont and Ohio City. I'd like to hear what you have to say.
