Yes, I have been hearing that Cedar-Lee, Coventry and Cedar-Fairmount are nice areas to live in. But could we find a 3-4 bedroom house for around $1,000 a month? I am aware that my sister in laws house is not in the best part of the town, yet not the worst. I guess I was looking at it's affordability. Mara

My sister in law's house, which is in CH, is off of Noble Rd. and Bluestone Rd. It's on a street called Erieview, close to Quarry and Dennison Park. She said her house would sell for around $125,000. I have been in her house and it's big and it's nice. So I was under the assumption you could get a nice house in a nice neighborhood for that price. Is this not a nice neighborhood? I have also started looking at University Heights. From my research, this is a little bit nicer area than CH. I found a 3 bedroom 1.5 bath house for rent for $1,000 or to buy for $110,000. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/apa/367092204.html That's what has been so appealing to me about CH and UH is the price of the homes and in a nice town with a community feel. But maybe I don't have this right. Maybe I am looking at not so good neighborhoods. Please shed some light. Thanks! Mara

So, where is the "Orthodox" area??

We are currently living in Kansas City Missouri. We are seriously considering moving to Ohio where my husband's family lives. His sister in law has a rental house in Cleveland Heights that she said she would rent or sell to us. But, I am really needing info on this area. I have a 15 year old son and a 3 year old daughter. So, school is important. Although, I will homeschool my 3 year old in the next couple of years. I am looking for a safe and friendly neighborhood/town. Somewhere that feels very "community" like and kid friendly, yet with lots of character. I love the old houses in Cleveland Heights. I can hardly believe the prices. They are really good. Some of the houses that I see go for around $125,000 there would easily be $250,000 here. So that is very appealing to me. But it does make me wonder why the prices are so low. My sister in laws house that we would probably live in is near Monticello Blvd and Noble Rd. There is a park a few blocks away called Quarry Park South and also Dennison Park. Any advice or info on this neighborhood would be greatly appreciated. We would also need to find a good non-denominational church and a grocery store or Farmer's Market that has all natural and organic food. Thanks a bunch!
