I accepted a job offer from a Niles OH company. Any suggestion as to where to live between Niles, OH, and Cleveland? Thank you.

This should probably be posted in the General Ohio forum. I'm not sure where you are moving from, but Niles is about 70 miles or about an hour and fifteen minutes from Cleveland.

Anyway, you should probably tell us what kind of area you are looking for, do you need good schools? what kind of stores do you want nearby? are you looking to rent or buy? If you could answer those questions it would be a lot easier for us to help you.

Also, you should know that once you get NW of Warren/Niles there really isn't much out there until you reach the southeastern Cleveland suburbs. It's mostly rural/amish country.

If you have any questions about Niles or the surrounding area i can definitely help you with that.

Thanks.... I have kids, aged 4 and 6 respectively so definitely looking for school districts. I don't mind commuting one way to work max 1 hour. So Southeast Cleveland is a good choice. For shops, a Costco would be nice. We have not decided to buy or rent residence at the moment.

Do you live in Cleveland now? I'm just wondering why you aren't looking into the area surrounding Niles?

We are Chinese and looking for a Chinese community. Niles OH does not have a nearby location with a Chinese community. So either Pittsburgh or Cleveland.

Ok, i understand now. I'm not sure how many Chinese live in the Niles/Youngstown area, but there a some. Most of the asians i have seen in our area live in Boardman or Howland. Obviously there are probably more in Cleveland or Pittsburgh, but i'm not sure on the numbers.

The SE Cleveland suburbs i hear a lot about are Hudson, Solon, and Beechwood.

Do you have experience driving in the snow??? I ask because the area between Cleveland and Niles is in the snow belt. If you are't good at winter driving i definitely wouldn't want to make that commute. I'm not saying it can't be done, because many people from my area commute to Cleveland and Akron everyday. I just think it might make more sense for you to live in the Niles area and then maybe travel to Cleveland or Pittsburgh when you want to spend time w/in the Chinese community. I suppose if you lived here you could take advantage of both communities (Clev and Pitt) since we are an hour from both.

If your heart is still set on the Cleveland area, hopefully someone that lives up there can direct you to the right place for you. Good luck with the new job.

Thanks. I assume you live in the Niles OH area? Pittsburgh is another viable option for us. Maybe Howland or Boardman is not that bad after all.

Thanks. What is the reputation of RTI International Metals in the area? Do you know anyone working there?

Locally, RTI is know as RMI Titanium. I think the company has a pretty good reputation in the area. They union employees had a strike there a few years back, but as far as i know business is good at the moment. I don't really know a lot of people that work there, but a lot of the hourly employees live in Niles. I know one guy (a classmate's father) that works for them in some sort of upper management position. Recently he moved from Cortland to the Pittsburgh area. I think this is because RTI decided to move their executive offices to Pittsburgh.
