Young Professionals Areas
Hey all.....My wife and I recently moved back to Cleveland. We are in our late 20's and have a dog. We are looking for an area that we can call home. Reasonable priced starter homes are important. Looking to spend 175k max. I work in Independence so a half hour commute is preferred. Looking for nice town with low crime. If there is anything else that needs clarification please let me know.
Where do you reccomend??

check into the posts on Lakewood. Most of it is low crime and dog friendly (except I think they are trying to ban pitbulls). Lots of nice houses, and plenty to do right in the neighborhood.

I figured that someone would mention Lakewood. The only thing that I dont like about that area is how close the houses are together. I feel as though there is little to no privacy. Also I was hoping to find something with a yard for my dog. If I am not mistaken, not too much in the way of yards in Lakewood.

Broadview Heights
If you'll be working in Independence, check out the Brecksville/Broadview Heights/North Royalton/Strongsville areas. You'll find plenty of homes in that area with decent sized yards.
If you don't mind driving a little further, out on the west side of Cleveland you can check out Westlake/Rocky River/Avon/North Ridgeville. I'm not as familiar with the east side, though you may find homes there in the Lyndhurst/Beachwood/Shaker Heights area if you want to live on the east side. If you don't know already, people here make a big deal about the differences between the east and west sides of Cleveland.

I agree with VII Hills (this is actually the name for the City) Some of the other cities mentioned are more expensive than you are looking to spend, you'll get more bang for you buck in VII Hills. Parma schools while not as highly rated as some of the schools in the other communities are not bad.

I am currently renting in Broadview Heights and this is a great area. Lots of restaurants, grocery stores, car care, pharmacy, bars, and easy access to the turnpike and I-77.
