What are the best cities and neighborhoods to live in? As a Realtor in the Cleveland, Ohio area since 2002, I’ve worked with many different home buyers and those relocating to the area. I’ve sold homes in almost every city and county of Northeast, Ohio. There are SO many great neighborhoods and cities to choose from. Many cities have excellent rated schools, specific home styles, lot sizes, amenities, etc. When moving to the Cleveland area, you have a lot of choices. Some buyers are partial to the east side, west side or southern suburbs. More than ever, people are moving back to Downtown Cleveland and surrounding neighborhoods. Based on what my buyers ask for and request, here are some of the most popular neighborhoods to live in in Northeast, Ohio.
Lakewood, Ohio – Nestled just west of the Cleveland line, Lakewood is a smaller city that has a large population and tons of perks. Great parks, public services, schools, libraries, unique eateries, shops, nightlife and more. Lakewood usually tops the list of those buying their first home, relocating or even making a second move. Renters also flock to this area due to Lakewood having many multi-family homes and condos/apartments on the Gold Coast (Right on Lake Erie). The standard home style in Lakewood is the classic colonial. Most homes are built prior to 1940 with a few newer town home additions. You’ll find many homes still have loads of character, charm and original woodwork. What can you expect to spend on a home in Lakewood? Homes come in all price ranges. There’s a home in Lakewood for almost every budget from a bungalow/colonial starting in the low $100k range all the way up to a million dollars on the lake. Rents are generally $500-$1,000.
