Thanks for all the great feedback. Just to a couple points people made, sounds like Ohio city is a good option from what people are saying. The neighborhood we currently live in is is still in Portland proper but on the edge of town. Really want to feel like we can walk to areas and also tend to like that pre 1960 building that one of the posts mentioned in terms of Ohio city. Funny took a survey on Cleveland.com, about the best neighborhood and don't remember any mention of some of these neighborhoods. So really appreciate the insight. As far as what campus, I am open to any campus at this point, although I did notice that the metro Tri-C campus had a lot more options for classes. As far as types of house as mentioned like the character of some of the older buildings, having a dog would probably prefer a duplex with even a small yard. Thanks for all the insight lots of neighborhoods now to go research now that I've got all this info. Have to say Ohio city or Tremont seem to be calling my name.

So right now we live in a neighborhood called St. Johns. Its in North Portland. We both really like the area because we are very close to parks and dog areas, but at the sametime can easily walk to all the major amenities we need grocery stores, video stores, restuarants. Another thing we like about our area is that its got a little more of a blue collar feel than some of the areas where you can pay 5 bucks for a cup of coffee. Going out isn't a huge portion of our life, we don't go to plays, concerts much but like being able to walk from our house for a date night. My wife will probably be going to the Airport every other week so that will probably need to be a factor interms of our location. I will be working from home, but also be taking classes at cayuago (sp?) community college to get into grad school. We are hoping to have time to make a quick weekend to Cleveland, neither one of us have ever been there. Are weekends are going to be scarce between now and when we need to move, but its something we are hoping we can make happen.

All of this information has been great about potential neighborhoods. My wife and I are relocating to Cleveland in the next few months, from Portland, OR. Definitely share some other posters thoughts on wanting to be walking distance to amenities and culture. Also have a dog that drives us crazy if we don't exercise him everyday wonder which one of the neighborhoods might be best for outdoor activities. Appreciate any and all info.
