Cleveland Overview

As the unofficial capital of America’s north coast, the affection that the people of Cleveland have for their town is shared by the entire region. Clevelanders are not afraid of a little snow. You’ll see children riding sleds on sidewalks and snowball fights in the parks. When other cities shut down and shiver- Cleavlanders come out and play! If Jefferson Airplane wasn’t talking about Cleveland, they should have been, because Clevelenders really did build this city on rock and roll, and as the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they’ve got the chops to prove it. They’ve got a unique appetite as well. With heaping corned beef sandwiches, shockingly strange Polish Boy hot dogs, and plenty to offer in the 5-star restaurant department as well, eating is nothing to be sneezed at in Cleveland. Unlike in many large cities, walking is socially acceptable here. It’s ranked among many top 10 most walkable cities lists. Why would you want to miss all this culture by riding in a car anyway?

Why live in Cleveland, OH?

Known for its blue collar spirit, Cleveland is a welcoming place for hard working people of all kinds. Rock and Roll and gregarious attitudes prevail. Not that there’s no place for people who enjoy a little quiet time, and the finer things either. Cleveland has time for everybody and every mood- and it’s no exaggeration to say- something for everyone. And even better - the options in great apartments in Cleveland also abound!
