Affordable Walkable Cities: Cleveland, Ohio
Video Overview & Insights
We will look at cities that are just plain underrated. We will focus on specific neighborhoods that are walkable and bike-able to services and amenities within a reasonable distance. The 15 minute city in America?
Melt is gone from Lakewood but the city of lakewood is still a beautiful walking city I've lived here since 2005 and I love it here
What actually qualifies as Affordable? We will be looking at cities with average rent and median home sale price.
Excellent report
What qualifies as Walkable? The entire city doesn’t have to be walkable since that’s unrealistic but they must have at least several neighborhoods with a good walk, bike and transit score. The goal is to find an area within the city where you can absolutely live car free.
Walkable Neighborhoods in Cleveland, Ohio
The edison generation created cleveland and suburbs 100 pluss years ago. The same bush is in front of the same house since.....still.
Ohio City
Tremont
if it's walkable and affordable it won't have its key clientele- yuppies and lib-snobs. Cities that are urban need to be drivable too. People who are not hard lefties that love the city want to be able to get to work and guess what they want to drive there! That is what keeps those areas "affordable" and authentic without being ruined by gentrifications with bike lanes, pack-em and stack'ems , awful public art, and yoga studios et al. I love neighborhoods those things have not touched.
Lakewood
With its prime location on Lake Erie, Cleveland offers picturesque lakefront views and a range of outdoor recreational activities. Visitors can stroll along the Cleveland Lakefront Nature Reserve or enjoy the sandy beaches of Edgewater Park.
He forgot about "rob-ability," "assault-ability," 'attack-ability, and, last but not least, "carjack-abulity." 🙂
Cleveland's Rapid Transit system consists of three rail lines: the Red, Green and Blue Line and The RTA operates free trolley services in downtown Cleveland
Cleveland is known for its warm and friendly Midwest hospitality.

Seven miles from downtown Lakewood is a destination residence for recent college grads. Not only affordable but walkable. As for comparison to Pittsburg & Buffalo they are fun however the best Metropolitan park in the nation is in CLE with 22,000 acres, best / largest theatre district outside NYC, number 1 orchestra in U.S. Neither Pitts nor Buffalo are on a great lake with tournament fishing, beaches & stunning views. There are 3 light rail lines & one has a station in the airport that takes you to the Eastside ( cultural/ great mansions) Westside ( Lakeview suburbs,great schools) , downtown & the world class Cleveland Clinic In the University Circle research center. The video was looking for protected bike paths & the best starts in downtown along the river connects to the Tow Path along the Erie Canal then with some connections can take you across the entire state to the Ohio river on mostly converted rail lines.

Great video. From Seattle myself, it was cool to see a fairly walkable neighborhood like Tremont. Ohio City retails district was also pretty fun.

I appreciate the info brother. New Subscriber
@SkyTouch08I could definitely see someone moving to Cleveland to have a relatively good quality of life in the sense of urbanist values while also trying to keep your bank account as full as possible. One might say, “Pittsburgh and Buffalo are both better on paper and are also affordable” , but Cleveland still has half the median home price that those cities have. Even if it were just a little more expensive, it wouldn’t be anything special, but it just seems to be extremely affordable
@henryedvalson3830Cleveland has a world class orchestra! Overall it is a very underrated city. You should do a video on Toledo. I really like the Old Orchard and Ottawa Hills neighborhoods .
@jasonschwartz8507Ohio is a red state, how wacky are the politics? Florida crazy?
@DiogenesOfCaI went there a few months ago but I didn't find it very walkable. I would've probably chosen Cincinnati as a walkable Ohio city.

@KJSvitkoWhile I’ll never live there again, it’s nothing like what it was growing up and has saw tremendous development. I’m about 15 years it’ll almost be unrecognizable. Great parks, entertainment and fun. So many things I didn’t get to visit but n my last trip.
@theeggreat4I did stand-up in Cleveland last year, it was wonderful. I could easily see myself living there.
