Seeking feedback on streets in University Heights/Cleveland Heights (Kingston: houses, neighborhood)

[nrheasley]

I am currently looking at purchasing houses on:

• S. Taylor between E. Monmouth and Fairmount (Cleveland Heights)
• Brockway (University Heights)
• Nordway (Cleveland Heights)
• E. Scarborough (University Heights)

Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

Big fan of South Taylor between Fairmount and E. Monmouth. A lot of my friends grew up around there (Queenston, Kingston). Also used to mow people's lawns all around the neighborhood as a teen. Good people. Very close to Shaker Lakes, which is nice. On the Rise bakery and Gigi's just down the street are cool to have as well.

I grew up in this area you're looking at and my parents still live there. It's a great spot. I probably would rank in terms of desirability for me:

1. S. Taylor near Fairmount
2. E. Scarborough
3. Nordway
4. Brockway

None of these are "bad" spots. I just think living a bit further from Cedar Center is better. Just a little noisier and congested and cars everywhere. Taylor and Scarborough will feel much more private.

I agree that this neighborhood is generally nice and quiet, but I would not really recommend living on South Taylor Road. It can be very busy at times, and the street itself is pretty narrow for such a "secondary" main thoroughfare. I would look more at the calmer residential areas just to the east or west of Taylor.

As for Brockway, it's not bad but I'll agree with the above poster that it would be last on my list.

Good point about Taylor. I would switch my 1 and 2, Scarborough seems best to me.

I live on E Scarborough and love it. Its pretty quiet and the neighbors are very nice. I wouldn't live on S Taylor at any point, just because of how busy it is. Cars driving by all the time. The end towards Monmouth is very nice though.
