I may be moving to the Cleveland area this summer, and whilst doing research I decided that Lakewood seemed like a good place to move.
Its close to the water, houses are reasonable, it seems kind of trendy
and looks gay friendly. I am female in a relationship with a woman and we have two kids (and two dogs).
So I was all excited that I found an area to move to when along comes my brother telling me his friend who lives in Ohio said to STAY AWAY FROM LAKEWOOD...that it is very ghetto-like.
So I would like to find out what other Ohioans think because judging by what I see online, it seems like a cool place to live.
We are looking for a place that is family oriented, has good schools, shopping, coffee shops, views, things to do, friendly people and water, water, water!
