Absolutely love Cleveland. Will be visiting again next week to do some shopping and sight-seeing. I can't wait to see it again. For a major city, Cleveland is so clean and beautiful compared to many other places. No place I would rather be than Cleveland. Excellent video, my friend. Thumbs up.
@Robin Buckeye: I live in the Ohio City neighborhood, and love it. All of Cleveland is beautiful. I'm so glad that you like it here...you are most welcome here, with open arms!
I live here all my life and with this video, I saw some new things I did not know about. Thank You very much for showing them to me and I will have to do more walking now.
Wow...Cleveland impressed me here and in some of the other videos I've seen of it. It has really decent pre-war architecture and a decent street life as well. If this is "very dead", I'm even more impressed.
@@zythr9999 most of the neighbors are very nice Im a jogger I have run all over Cleveland ......Actually the worst things I have see are one the nicer neighborhoods and never hits the new.. the News always show the east side ...but I have seen people shot on the middle of Lorain Ave on KAMMS corners ! But as far of neighborhoods goes...let me mention how many nice or trendy.. University Circle Little Italy Ohio city Tremont THE GORDON SQUARE was name of of the most improved neighbors In the Nation by The New York Times ! The Edgewater drive area wonderful homes . West Park , and old Brooklyn there are more good areas than bad ... but a city without issues , troubles and any crime !? Is not a City!
I am a nurse, and have worked in several hospitals around both the west and east side. I live on the west side, in Ohio City,and I love it. When we moved here from Pittsburgh to Cleveland, this area was a den of thieves, really. People avoided this area in the daylight as well as after dark.We moved here in 1971. But the years I was in high school, young, hard working professional type thought that the turn of the century architecture was worth saving, so they bought delapatsted houses and restored them according to the historical records...like in paint color, etc. Thisbyear, the rent for a two bedroom duplex starts st 1000,00 a month. The boarded up store fronts are thriving with young, dedicated people. The pride is thru the roof. Cleveland, and the other cities in Northeast Ohio is swamped with an influx of young families with kids, who are willing to work for the good of the neighborhood. You would be most welcome here! 💖🌞
Thanks for the great feedback! What do you know about East Cleveland? Very curious. A good friend of mine just got relocated with work and she is nervous, due to unfamiliarity. Thanks 🦋
I’ve been to Cleveland many times, as I have many friends there. I have never once felt unsafe. Most of the crime is on the east side, so maybe you should take a second look, or quit trying to act like an expert.
Published: 9:28 AM EDT May 21, 2023 Updated: 9:28 AM EDT May 21, 2023 Mission Possible: The future of Downtown Cleveland is strong due to the demand for living From luxury apartments to single-family homes, will this housing demand continue? CLEVELAND - “Downtown is both our front door as well as the living room for the region,” said the President and CEO of the Greater Cleveland Partnership, Baiju Shah. Whether it's tourism, or companies looking to relocate, the first stop in Northeast Ohio is downtown Cleveland. For years, developers have dangled luxury lifestyles, with a view. But how many apartments can downtown support? “We don't have a demand problem. We have a supply problem. There's plenty of demand. We need more supply,” said the President and CEO of the Downtown Cleveland Alliance, Michael Deemer. That's the consensus of a housing study by the Downtown Cleveland Alliance and Greater Cleveland Partnership. While parts of the city are losing residents, downtown's population is growing. Downtown Cleveland's population is currently up 22% from ten years ago, making it a hot market. “I think it's a signal that the demand is absolutely there to developers and investors,” said Shah. “We need more apartments, but we also need more for sale housing throughout downtown and greater downtown.” Developers like Berges Home Performance see the need. They are finishing West 20th and Smith, a 14-home project in Duck Island, that's where Cleveland, Tremont and Ohio City converge. “It's just a hot spot to be. And, you know, you might not you might not know it from the outside just looking in. But once you live here, you understand why,” said Matt Berges, owner of Berges Home Performance. Berges builds custom homes, which the study says is needed. At only 6%, Cleveland trails behind cities like Cincinnati, Columbus and Detroit in downtown homeownership. “I'm a small builder. We're doing 12 to 24 houses a year,” said Berges. “And so, the demand is plenty sufficient for our operation. We're selling two per month. I think we sold three this week actually.” The population growth over the next decade means housing projects currently in the pipeline would need to nearly double to keep up with demand. But building takes time. Berges has been working on West 20th and Smith for seven years. “We can't react quickly to demand shifts. We just have to speculate half the time on when this demand is coming or going,” said Berges. Downtown living is attracting residents, and not just because of a job. The study found half of the population travels outside the city for work. “That, to me, was the biggest surprise, is that they're choosing to live in downtown and greater downtown because of the neighborhood, because of the amenities, the lifestyle that they're seeking, not because of proximity to work,” said Shah. Both organizations believe a strong downtown translates into a stronger region, with signs pointing to a brighter future. “Growth is not only happened, growth is going to continue to happen because of the demand for this specific geography within our metropolitan area,” said Shah. “The report sends a very validating signal that we've created that kind of environment in downtown Cleveland. We need to double down on it and really complete that transformation,” said Deemer. Over 37,000 people call downtown Cleveland and the near west side home, which is the area the study looked at. It is the faster growing residential downtown in the state of Ohio. Take care and God bless
Nice fluff video, the real video would be to walk through the endless ghettos, we call the east side, then if you survive that, your grand finally could be a walk through the beautiful suburb of the charming east cleveland.. these videos only show the good parts, not the truth, cleveland is 88 square miles, of that, about 50 square miles is horrible poverty stricken, crime filled, very depressing ghettos, full of rich african american culture...
