Posted May 26, 200718 yr Hey all, I live in Ohio City now-for the past year. I hate to move but the place was so damn cold in the winter, plus I feel I'm paying too much. Anyway, I want a place that will be warm, for the price. Anyone have any recommendations on warm, cheap(ish) places in Ohio City, Lakewood (most places offer free heat but do they stay warm?), Downtown areas? Maybe I should contact a rental agent? Anyone know any good ones?
May 26, 200718 yr My apartment in Lakewood was incredibly warm last winter - too warm, at times! Most of the people I know in apartments live in the Edgewater, Lakewood-Clifton, West Lakewood areas, and I haven't heard anything about being cold from them, either. It might be best to stop people you see going into buildings you have interest in to get their individual takes.
May 30, 200718 yr are you saying all places around here are cold in the winter? Nah, he's just being a smart ass. It's why we hate love the guy. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
June 1, 200718 yr I'm not sure why, but it seems like some of the older apartment complexes (particularly with those with steam heat) in Lakewood, the Heights and Shaker Square are some of the warmest places I've ever been during the winter. Getting a unit in a taller building also keeps ya warm, as you can "steal" heat from all the floors beneath you. Last winter, I was on the seventh-floor of a midrise building on Shaker Square ... I am a total cold baby but still had to keep my windows open a lot during the winter. The downside to being in a place where someone else decides when the heat first turns on and when it turns off is that landlords tend to keep it off until they start getting complaints ... meaning frigid Octobers and almost painfully toasty Decembers.
