Hi All- I signed a lease in Lakewood! By Madison and Bunts. It's a pretty nice place, I love it. :) Because of the stipulations of my old lease, unless I find someone, I will have to still pay June rent. I have posted ads on craigslist, cle backpages and pluggedincleveland. Anywhere else you can think of I can post? Thanks!

What about Detroit Manor? 1388 W 111th St http://cleveland.craigslist.org/apa/1115318924.html

Thoughts?! I know it's in a "less developed" area... is the crime bad?

wowza. the $450 "lofts" left something to be desired. definitely need renovating BIG TIME, and the apt. was tiny. still hunting!

Exactly, that's why it seems so fantastic... but I am wary of the super low rent. Thoughts? Thanks so much for your help! :-D

How is that part of town? It looks to be more west... I will most likely go and check it out... but $450 seems like a "too good to be true" type of deal, especially when you add in free heat.

Does anyone know anything about this place? http://www.rosewoodplace.com/LoftApts.asp $450 rent includes parking and free heat!

Must haves: Laundry facilities of some sort, storage, and off-street parking Everything else is negotiable... central air would be nice though. Rent $600 or less for a 1 bedroom

Right now I live in Tremont with a roommate, but am looking at possibly relocating to Lakewood to live alone. Where are the "good" areas to live? I don't know much about Lakewood, but it seems like a nice community for a young single professional. Any help would be great! As an FYI, in Tremont, I live right by the park in a house, gated parking, laundry, etc.

do the radiators not work? the electric baseboards can be a good solution where it is particularly cold or no other heat options exist. i would imagine that trying to heat the entire unit on electric baseboards could get expensive though. they keep the radiators on all the time at 50-55 and then the electric is to supplement.

it's not right against the window, there is a radiator with a box over it by the window and probably about 2 feet between that and the stove.

yes, they are the same. there are 8 units in the building, with one rented so far. they are pretty nice, i was just wondering about the area since it is a little farther out from the center of ohio city. Here is a link to pictures that my bf took: http://www.fabiens.org/gallery/v/jeff/Apartments/Detroit/ Also, it has electric baseboard heat with the controls on each baseboard. what do you all think of that? thanks for the info.

Does anyone know anything about these in Ohio City on Detroit and W 26? Thanks!

I'm moving from Stow, so I'm familiar with Cleveland. I just don't know specifics of areas and there aren't really many people I can ask who don't have unbiased opinions. I figured here would be a good place to talk to people who actually live in or near the area in question.

I was never suggesting the area was less than desirable, I was just trying to get some unbiased input about the area to help me make a decision. I know all areas have crime, I just wanted to get a feel about what it would realistically be like to be live there. Also, I know I can park right in front of the house, it's just a little walk back to the door and I didn't want to get jumped in the alley or something.

It is about 1/2 block before Herman. I am most concerned about if we park on the street and walk a few blocks to our house, will we get mugged. Also concerned about cars being stolen/broken into. We are younger (25) single women and we just want to be safe! I had heard that the Convenient Food Mart on Detroit and 59th was scary.

Hello All- I need some unbiased opinions. I am looking at renting a house on W 67th north of Detroit by Herman. What is your opinion of the area? I know that Battery Park is nearby and there are a lot of nice condos near the lake. I also know that it is 1 block from "Italiantown." Is the area safe??? Thanks for your help! :-D
