I hope topic this isn't too redundant, but I will also be moving to Cleveland to start work during the summer (in my early 20s). I grew up in the East burbs and am back here for the holidays, but after 4 years in Philly minus my internship last summer I'm not that knowledgable about Cleveland living. I will be looking at some apartments downtown tomorrow (Statler Arms, Bingham, Reserve Square, Perry Payne...) but I was wondering if anyone had advice or heard positive or negative things about any specific places downtown. I haven't really seen many personal accounts about specific places in the other topics so I figured I'd ask. My office will be right on Public Square, so it would be nice to be able to walk to work and not worry about parking, considering I'll be working late often. But I might also consider Ohio City, Tremont and Coventry as well (anywhere where you can safely walk from an apartment to a cafe/bar type of area). The East 4th apartments seem completely occupied for now. I guess I'd have to pay for parking downtown either way, whether it's parking at my apt or near my office (I'd rather not take the RTA home at midnight). Looking to rent not buy, at around 600-800 for just myself, and if I can find a roomate maybe up to 1400 for a 2BR. I was also wondering where cool/chill areas are...over the summer I went out around E4th and W6th, but I was wondering about other nice areas. My crowd varies from young professional to artsy, as I'm a business man and songwriter. I'll def be looking to meet new people when I'm not working. Any advice/knowledge about great areas/apartments, downtown or in the other areas I mentioned? Please share
