Is public transit usable in Garfield Heights?

First post here. Poverty rate is 18.1%, which is higher than I expected. Household incomes average around $52,006 in Garfield Heights. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Should I be concerned? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value nightlife, you'll love it. The cost of living is genuinely excellent and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. My neighborhood (Midtown) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from LA, be prepared for the culture shock. healthcare is completely different here. And Traffic during rush hour is rough.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
