Working in Richfield-Need advice on fun, hip place to live. (Cleveland: apartment, neighborhood)

[kmk29]

I may be moving to Cleveland area (working in Richfield). I am hoping to find more of a fun, hip, urban/village neighborhood that would be attractive to young professionals. I also do not want a long commute to work. I have visited Richfield (only once) and it appears to be a nice area, but from what I saw of it, more of a surburb without a real village feel. Any advice is much appreciated.

Call or visit Century Cycle in Peninsula. They can give you some suggestions.

Thanks for the info. I probably should have been more specific. I am moving to the Cleveland area for the job in Richfield, so am really looking for more information regarding the area (as opposed to a specific house/apartment.) Anyway, I did see a post in which someone recommended certain areas, but not any of the southern suburbs which seem to be close to Richfield. Any suggestions on areas south of the city of Cleveland that would be nice for young professional single people is greatly appreciated. I am concerned that although I would be living in a very nice area, it would amount to a social desert (if you know what I mean.)

I suggest Hudson. It has a lot of interesting, educated people from all over, restaurants, shopping, good schools, and it's very pretty.
