Transferring to VA Med Ctr in Breaksville, OH (North Royalton, Broadview Heights: lease, house)

[charese80]

Professional, educated, African American female transferring with my two sons (ages 24 and 16) to work in Breaksville. I am looking for a safe, diverse area to live with a relatively short commute to work. Prefer a 3-4 bedroom home. Lease to own if possible. Price range up to 1500/mo. Good High school is very important as well. Is it possible to find all of this???

I can't give a first-hand report on how Brecksville/Broadview Hts. High School is now, but it was good when I was in the area, and the numbers they give on their website look good:

Definitely, the school there looks great!!! Thanks for the info. I will be doing a house hunt on the 14th. Hopefully it all falls into place. I am torn between Shaker (which is obviously farther from work) or Brecksville. Safety is very important too. Oh well. Decisions. Decisions.
