If you live in Ohio, then you know that Cleveland is a happening place! There are so many great things to do in Cleveland that there are multiple reasons you want to buy a house in Cleveland, Ohio.
10 Reasons to Buy a House in Cleveland, Ohio
Neighborhoods
Cleveland has many great neighborhoods! Among the top locations in Cleveland are Chagrin Falls, Tremont, Rocky River, Detroit Shoreway and Shaker Heights. Though they are diverse in what they offer, they all offer location. Being close to the action is great, but being in a quiet neighborhood has its perks too. You get the best of both worlds when you buy a house in Cleveland, Ohio.
Lake Erie
Lake Erie has some great beaches that are perfect for spending an afternoon relaxing. Take a picnic lunch and a good book, and you’re good to go! Huntington Beach is a must visit, and if you live in Cleveland, you’re always close!
Cleveland Sports
Unless you’re living under a rock, you know that the Cleveland Cavaliers hold the NBA 2016 championship title. I’m sure they’re on the way to another one too! (Crossing my fingers!) We’ve also got the Cleveland Indians who ALMOST won the World Series and are doing great this year. We’ve got hockey and “football” too. I’m not sure how much football the Browns actually play, but let’s not talk about that. Maybe someday we’ll be awesome again.
Theater
If you are a fan of Broadway, you don’t have to go all the way to New York City to see some amazing performances. PlayhouseSquare has plenty of great events every year. The 2017-2018 KeyBank Broadway Series is set to include Broadway greats like Waitress, Rent and Aladdin.
Music
Not only does Cleveland have great concert arenas, they’ve also got the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I’ve visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame several times. There is always something new and exciting to see there. Everyone who loves music needs to visit at least once!
Food
There are so many amazing places to eat in Cleveland, but one reason you want to buy a house in Cleveland, Ohio is being close to West Side Market. West Side Market is Cleveland’s public oldest market. It is home to 100 vendors offering meats, seafood, fruits, vegetables, baked goods, dairy, flowers, ready-to-eat foods, and more.
Cleveland Metroparks
The Cleveland Metroparks consists of many parks with many choices! You can find something for everyone in the Cleveland Metroparks. Part of the Metroparks is the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. This zoo is so much fun! It is home to so many animals and their conservation efforts are commendable. It’s just another reason to buy a house in Cleveland, Ohio.
History
If you are a history buff, there are many places for you to enjoy in Cleveland. One of those places is the USS Cod Submarine. It was a WWII submarine, and it is right here in Cleveland! There is also Lake View Cemetery where President Garfield is buried and is a top spot to see in Cleveland.
Museums
When you buy a house in Cleveland, Ohio, you are never too far from a museum. Some of the museums in Cleveland include the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum, Western Reserve Historical Society, and the Children’s Museum of Cleveland.
A Christmas Story
Last, but certainly not least, is A Christmas Story House! Raise your hand if you watch A Christmas Story multiple times when it runs 24 hrs on Christmas Eve. I do! I’m sure most of us have fond memories of watching this movie with our families.
These are just a few of the reasons you may want to buy a house in Cleveland, Ohio. What are reasons that you bought a house in your neighborhood!

I am a Boston girl for life, but Cleveland sounds like a city that I would LOVE to visit. I had no idea there was so much fun stuff to do there.
It would be hard to leave Boston with so many amazing things, but yeah, Cleveland is really cool too.
Great list, Christy! There are so many great things in Cleveland. My list would also include the hospitals. We are lucky to have Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals so close. It's one of those things you don't think about until you need them, but then you are so very thankful you don't have to travel across the country to get access to the nation's top medical specialists!
Yes, we really are fortunate to have those highly regarded hospitals here! The hotel we stayed at actually caters to traveling nurses and patient's families as well since it's got a kitchen and is pet friendly.
I have driven through there but never had the opportunity to stop and check out all the sites. It looks like there's a lot to do there, I totally forgot about the Christmas story. That is probably one of my favorite movies.
I am putting a tour on my bucket list! I wanted to go this past weekend, but it was pouring down rain.
I have never been to Ohio and we are pretty settled and content where we are. Especially since we are close to retirement. For those want to move or a change I'm sure Ohio is a wonderful place.
It is except for the winter lol!
I have never visited Cleveland, but you make it sound like a fabulous place to be! I may have to add it to my list of places to visit at very least.
Yes, you need to! It's awesome!
I have never been to anywhere in Ohio but have heard things about Cleveland. A few of my friends ended up with jobs there and I am glad to see that they are in such a good location!
That is great about their jobs. It does have some amazing places to visit!
I would be most excited to buy a home in Cleveland because of all the food options! We always look for great restaurants and markets in an area that we would like to live in and good schools for the kiddos ;)
The food options in Cleveland are awesome!
One of the things that would make me excited about living in Cleveland is getting to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,I have wanted to go there for years,I'm a big music fan and trivia buff.What I look for when buying a house is wanting to live in a safe neighborhood,job availability,and lots of fun things to do and see and it looks like Cleveland has it all!
It does! I hope you get to visit the Rock Hall someday!
I visited Cleveland a few years back and it was actually really cool. I loved the vibe that the city gave off!
It's awesome! You need to come back now that we're the NBA champs lol!
What an amazing sounding place to live or even visit, I remember once upon a time I dreamed of moving to the US.
And now I dream of moving to the UK lol.
