New to Cleveland: A Guide to (Re)Discovering the City

By Justin Glanville

Recent years have seen a wave of new interest in urban living in Cleveland. The city's downtown and close-in neighborhoods are attracting young, college-educated residents and so-called empty nesters in growing numbers. Families with children are also reconsidering the city, thanks to improving education choices and fantastic access to parks and culture. Whether you're new to town or a longtime resident, New to Cleveland is your complete guide to joining the party. Inside you'll find: Descriptions and walking tours, with maps, of 12 Cleveland neighborhoods (and Lakewood and Cleveland Heights); Listings of restaurants, cafes, stores and cultural institutions; Advice on where to send your kids to school; Insights on the Cleveland real estate market, and help deciding whether to rent or buy; The best neighborhoods for students, artists, professionals, retirees and those who want to live car-free or car-light; And the answer to the age-old question, "Can I live in a cool old industrial building?" With more than 50 illustrations by local artist Julia Kuo, and text by writer and urban planner Justin Glanville, New to Cleveland will have you looking at the city with fresh eyes even if you've never lived anywhere else.
