June 24, 200816 yr Correction. It's in our Best Places in the Midwest to Buy an Old House Here's the full article. Lakewood, Ohio The Neighborhood A well-established Cleveland bedroom community situated on Lake Erie, Lakewood has about 55,000 residents and thousands of single-family and multifamily homes built between 1890 and 1930. Locally owned shops, restaurants, theaters, and art galleries, strung behind vintage storefronts along a former streetcar line, are where families meet in summer—when they're not relaxing by the lake. Home to a celebrated public library, the Beck Center for the Arts, Lakewood also has great schools that have been making news for their rapid test-score gains and high graduation rates. The Houses Queen Anne, Spanish Revival, Tudor, and Colonial Revival houses can be found with all their original details, including magnificent millwork and stained-glass windows. The Prices Colonial Revival and Victorian-era houses in need of work start at foreclosure prices as low as $50,000, while large lakeside beauties go for as much as $600,000. Why Buy Now? The Cleveland Restoration Society, a nonprofit preservation group, offers low-interest loan programs for rehabs and renovations. And the Lakewood Heritage Advisory Board offers consultations and assistance for those looking to rehab old houses.

June 25, 200816 yr The top two houses sit side by side on Edgewater between Lakewood Park and the Gold Coast. I don't recognize the large white house.
June 25, 200816 yr nice adds MayDay, could you ad captions as to where those houses are? Is that accross/near from your former residence? I recall you spoke about living accross from some well manicured homes. I lived in CLEVELAND, not Lakewood - just like you live in CLEVELAND, not Shaker Heights. :whip: The white house is on Lake, near the Clifton Park area (western edge of Lakewood). This is easily my favorite in Lakewood: It and the other "Normandy" style home are designed by Clarence Mack, who did the "Federal" styled homes on Lake Avenue. Here's a great article from the Lakewood Historical Society site: http://www.lakewoodhistory.org/artifacts/lhsn19.htm clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
June 25, 200816 yr Touche! Bitch! :wink: Honestly, I wasn't sure how close to the border you lived to the Lakewood/Cleveland Border or where those houses were located. So cut a brotha some slack shawty. That article is great, I think Ill check out the street using google street view, they look really nice.
June 25, 200816 yr Let's see, the title of the post clearly says "LAKEWOOD". Knowing that, would I post homes that are located in Cleveland? That's about as likely as me cutting a "brotha" some slack, papi! clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
