Hi I need an apartment asap in Columbus but safety is my number 1 priority. I'm a single white 20 something female looking to be near the Capital Law School. How is E Town Street to live on? I've heard of like Brewers Yard and Arena Crossing, but I don't want to spend anymore than 800/month. Also, it seems that a lot of the good places have like no availability. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

ok thanks for all the help everyone! i think i finally decided on renting an apartment in Hampton House which is on Lake Road right near Lakewood. It seems to be a safe area with lots of pretty homes and parks nearby. If anyone has heard differently, please let me know!

i just want to make sure it is a road where a single white female in her early 20s can comfortably walk around alone and not feel uncomfortable. I know Cedar-Fairmount is nice, but I don't know if Lennox Road is just as nice

is Lennox Road in Cleveland Heights a good street?

Yeah I drove on Cedar also and really like the apartments in the cedar-fairmont area. I also like downtown, on Euclid. It seemed safe but it was hard to judge since obviously I didn't see it at night.

thanks so much for all the help! i walked around little italy in the fall after touring case western and i really liked it (i'm not black, but i have heard about those incidences dealing with race). but yeah i'm not used to living in an urban environment so i like the idea of how cleveland heights feels "neighborhoody". And awesome advice about checking out the bathroom, I will need to do that! I plan on walking around the areas on Wednesday, so I'm definitely going to look at Lakewood, Tremont, Cleveland Heights, and Downtown. I do want to be around a young crowd. Is Coventry more of a place to hang out and go to, but not to live?

So I am new to Cleveland and plan on attending CSU law school this fall. However I am a single 22 year old female living on my own, so obviously safety is a huge factor. I am not familiar with Cleveland and have become very confused about the best areas to live in (one person says its great, another says its not). I am looking right now at Tremont and Cleveland Heights, but I am definitely overwhelmed. I plan on driving up there this week to scope out areas. Any recommendations on neighborhoods/apartments to focus on? I also would like to be around people my age too.
