Anyone else feel this way? We're a young couple and Crime rate is something to consider -Shaker Heights sits at 217.0 per 100K. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Has anyone dealt with this? Any help is appreciated.

My experience has been mostly positive. the quality of life is solid. The only thing I'd watch out for is dating scene. Other than that, Happy to answer more specific questions..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.
I've been here 9 years and it's improved dramatically in recent years. The thing nobody mentions is cost of living. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the job market is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is better than expected.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The North side vs the South side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
