I saw a featured article on Yahoo! the other day. You know, the ones that feature homes that are not the norm.  Usually built into a hill or four spheres on a tree.  Not practical? Maybe, but still homes people have built.  Usually in places like California, Oregon, etc.  This article however, revolved around homes [...]

Like most statistics, you can get multiple viewpoints about what those stats mean. NewsNet5.com uses Trulia comments that it’s cheaper to own a 2BR house than it is to rent a 2 BR house.

This is a large area, but buyers search this entire area for homes.  It encompasses about four neighborhoods in Cleveland’s west side, and some of these zip codes overlap in neighborhoods.  For example, if someone wants to buy a home in West Park, they will probably be looking in both zip codes.  Kamm’s Corner is [...]

Foreclosures still play a large part in home selling statistics for the City of Parma.  There are 519 single family homes listed for sale as of today.  Many more homes than any of the other communities I’ve researched so far in this study.  In the ‘make lemonade out of lemons’ category, there are a lot [...]

Two West Side Inner Ring Suburbs, Lakewood and Rocky River are beautiful places to live.  (I know, I say that about everywhere, but here in NE Ohio, we are lucky, our communities are great!).  Lakewood is much larger than Rocky River, with a population around 55k residents.  Very much a city living kind of place.

In many ways they are very different, while sharing some important similarities (like access to highways, Southwest General Hospital, they each have their own recreation centers and good park land to explore. Berea has a population of about 19,000 residents. It’s an historic community, established along the rail [...]
