Hey, You can expect to pay around $894 for rent here. Household incomes average around $39,187 in Cleveland. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Worth the trade-offs? It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Property taxes are high but you get good services. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.
I've been here 9 years and it's been a really good experience overall. The thing nobody mentions is job market. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into photography, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The South side vs the Springfield side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Bought a house here in 2016 and it's exactly what I was looking for. Property values have gone up significantly since then.
