    I realized in the evening my error. I live just WEST of LEE road a couple of blocks south of Euclid road. Thus, just WEST of cain park. Sorry for the confusion and I really appreciate the feedback.

    Just east of Cain Park.

    Hello everyone, I am officially renting in Cleveland Heights just a little north of Cedar/Lee (east of lee, between superior and euclid). I am asking about night time safety. I asked around and everyone I talked with indicated that the area was relatively safe as long as you keep your wits. I am wondering if anyone has any comments on safety walking between my area and Cedar/Lee or Coventry Village? Appreciate it.

    I might bundle, but would prefer not. I have dish and am very satisfied with them. Also, I don't plan on getting a home phone line.

    Thanks everyone for all the advice. My wife and I were in Cleveland for a few days a couple of weeks ago. We were able to find a small rental house in between cedar-lee and coventry. I drove around and explored a lot of areas and we were really impressed with Cleveland. I think the highlight of the trip was dinner in little italy. As I will be in cleveland for many years I will most likley look at purchasing in the next 12 months. Appreciate all the advice.

    This is a lot of good info. - A short term stay might work out well, but I think I would rather see about a six month lease before purchase that way I can maintain some stability as I won't have a lot of time initially to look for a house. - I am excited about the snow. I actually grew up in michigan and am familiar with winter - but, the large amount of lake affect should be interesting. Is there an appreciable difference in snow fall amount between east / west. If so, about where does the snow levels seem to increase? - In regards to OC / Tremont: is there a major road(s) where the entertainment centers? Thanks for all the advice.

    I really appreciate everyone's input and have been researching suggestions all day. I am getting excited about Cleveland and feel it will be a great opportunity. Feel free to keep giving suggestions. As I start to narrow down my choices I will keep coming up with more and more questions.

    Thank you all for your quick responses. To some of the questions: Age Group - mid to late twenties. What kind of home do you live in now? [Condo, Town Home or SFH] - I live in a 2 bedroom condo. Do you rent or own? - Rent What City/Neighborhood do you currently live in? I live in the inland empire of california. A large suburban sprawl off LA Do you want to live in the 'burbs or the city (seems you're open to both) - Open to both and appreciated the advantages of both. Have been living in a suburban setting for several years and considering the perks of a more urban environment at this point. Weighing the pros / cons. What kind of activities are you/you spouse into - We enjoying going out meeting friends at restaurants or bars, music, sports (professional and amateur leagues where we play), gyms, hiking / outdoor activities. Does you both want to drive, be car-lite, or be car free? - I will plan on driving. My wife will also drive. How much money do you wish to spend on housing? - Ideally, I would stay 800-1300 per month, but if the perfect place presented itself I could go higher up to $2000 including parking. Perhaps my biggest question is this: If I choose to live in cleveland heights / coventry / shaker square will I be able to find good restaurants and bars on the weekends? And if not, it is a challenge to get to downtown (warehouse, etc) either by car, taxi, or public transpo? If I have to sacrifice one wish I could sacrifice covered parking for two. I would ideally, like one spot so my wife doesn't have to scrap her car in the winter.
  12. Hello All: I will be moving to Cleveland this summer for a position at cleveland clinic. I am trying to decide on which area to live. Any advice would be much appreciated as I am moving from California and do not know much about cleveland. I am looking for: 1. Somewhere with <15-20 minute drive to the clinic 2. Safety 3. Easy access to bars and restaurants - preferably a short walk. 4. Two indoor parking spaces 5. Minimum of 2 bedrooms either apartment or house 6. Any budget - initially rental, but if I find the perfect place/price perhaps purchase. Some of the areas that I have been reading about are: 1. Shaker heights - seems close, safe, comfortable, but with a minimum of nightlife options. Is it difficult to get from shaker heights to downtown (warehouse ect,) for a night out? 2. Cleveland heights / University Circle - close to CC, safe, the closer to university the better the night life, but still not up to downtown. 3. Warehouse district - how long to CC? IS traffic an issue as I will be going in relatively early in the AM. IS it safe for my wife? Parking? Again, I am looking forward to moving to cleveland and excited to explore a new city. Thanks
