Starting a business in Ravenna?

OK so I work in logistics and Rent is about $809/month for a decent place. Crime rate is something to consider -Ravenna sits at 2,173.9 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 1.3%, which is pretty low. With a population of 1,472, Ravenna is a small town. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The city has invested a lot in new development.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 6 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from LA, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Four distinct seasons
- The walkability scene is improving

The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Can feel isolated

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for retirees. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

We moved here with our family and the quality of life is solid. Schools in Eastside area are hit or miss. Kids love it here.
