cleveland housing: History Meets the 21st Century in Downtown Cleveland's Historic Gateway Community - 07/31/08 09:23 PM
Cleveland is divided up into approximately 36 neighborhoods and I think most are aligned with their own community development corporation (CDC). Last time I explored Detroit Shoreway; now we head Downtown to Historic Gateway. This is one of my favorite areas. The variety of things to do will blow your mind!!! And like the National statistics, more people are moving into downtown areas to take advantage of car-free, transit oriented development (TOD) living, and all the amenities surrounding the housing.
Did you know that one of the first ever shopping malls is in this neighborhood? The Arcade is a magnificent beauty … (12 comments)

cleveland housing: Cuyahoga County Treasurer Writes About Slavic Village, Foreclosures and The Poignancy Behind the Crisis - 09/30/07 02:02 PM
Jim Rokakis has been our Treasurer for quite some time. I had no idea how eloquently he could write a story. The Washington Post's Outlook section featured an article he wrote today. The article is about everyone wanting the American Dream, not having enough money to get it, and then being given false hope that a loan can in fact make you a 'part of' that Dream.
There are parts of the article that make me uncomfortable, because he talks about predators and that includes Realtors®. He talks about Ohio's NAR lobbying against predatory lending legislation a few years ago. Regardless of … (16 comments)

cleveland housing: Universal Design Homes Just Might Help You Keep Your Independence So You Don't Have to Move to Florida - 07/19/07 02:02 PM
No offense to Florida, really. It's a great State! But Clevelanders are 'sticky.' It's one of those high tech terms for those who own a website; we want our websites to be sticky meaning people visit our sites and then browse for more than a few seconds. Well, that's how I view the Midwest, at least here in Cleveland. Families are here so as people reach retirement age, moving to Florida or anywhere else away from our families is not always a pleasant thought. Moving to a retirement community isn't always a happy thought either. There are things you can do to your … (40 comments)

cleveland housing: Cleveland Housing News: The Statler Arms: An Elegant Apartment Building With a Rich History - 07/08/07 01:07 PM
I have a terrific client -the one I mentioned here, we met in person yesterday instead of just being email pen pals and began our search for his apartment. This led to an interesting hour at the Statler Arms Apartments. I got there early and proceeded to walk the building. It was converted from an office building to apartments and in 2002 the first residents moved in. Because it used to be a hotel (more on that later in this post), this residence has unique features. The first floor/lobby still looks and functions in a way a hotel might operate: a … (13 comments)

cleveland housing: Cleveland Housing Trends: We Continue to 'Go Green' - 07/07/07 12:25 AM
What if I told you that you could buy a new home, wind up paying less than $600 a year on natural gas fuel costs, be within walking distance to the Rapid Transit? And buy this home for less than $130,000? You'd say I was not of sound mind? Well you'd be wrong, this time anyway lol. There is a new green housing development getting ready to break ground (maybe as early as late August) between W. 58th and Pear Avenue. This is exciting news folks. One Design's ECCO House was selected to do the project.
This is also the site of … (15 comments)
