My wife is wanting to move to painesville for college. I know nothing about painesville. Iwas hoping someone could give me more of a idea of what the area is like (size,people, work in the area,and family activeties and schools.)Also if we move from Idaho to painesville I need a home or place I can put 3 horses, 4 dogs and a rabbit. is this able to be found.

I currently live in painesville, ohio and grew up here. Lake Erie College is beautiful and is a wonderful college to attend.

If you want to live where you can have horses on your property, you cannot live within the city limits. You could live in Painesville Township, Concord Township, or Leroy. All of these areas are just outside of Painesville. It would only be a 5 minute drive into town. The school system for Painesville Township, Concord Township and Leroy is "Riverside local schools". This school system is ranked significantly higher then "Painesville city schools".

The population in Painesville city is very diverse. Painesville has Caucasions, African Americans, and Latinos. Although it is a very diverse area, all of the different populations get along well together. It is a peaceful community.

One great feature we have in Painesville is to be right on Lake Erie. Summer time in Ohio can't be beat. Go to the beach or take a ride on a boat. Go fishing for walleye and perch. The weather in summer is beautiful!

As far as work in the area, Cleveland is only like a 25 minute drive from Painesville. There are many companies to work for in Cleveland. Also, Progressive Insurance is a large employer in the area with its headquarters based in Mayfield, OH which is only 15 minutes away.

Hope this helps!
