I recently landed a job in downtown Cleveland and am currently looking for a place to live. As I am more of an Akron native, I don't know a lot about the Cleveland area but I did some touring over the weekend and it seems like Lakewood would be the best fit for me.
Jamie;
To help you out here are some hints as to Lakewood using areas in Akron:
When you hear about the Clifton Park or Clifton Beach area think Merriman Rd. area and down in the Valley
W. Clifton and all the streets north of Lake think the West Market Street from Merriman to the Country Club;
Anything between Lake and Madison think Goodyear Hts or the St. Sebastian-Portage Path areas
On Detroit from Warren to the western end of the city, think a very long Highland Square, there is even a theater on Detroit but no Rocky Horror Picture on Friday nights. The Mary Coyles of Lakewood is Malley's on Madison
When you hear Lakewood Hts Blvd. think of the area of around St. Vincent's Church
That is all the associations between Akron and Lakewood that I can come up with at the moment.
