About Cleveland, OH

Perhaps no city in the United States has had to shake such a terrible reputation over the last 20 years than Cleveland. The city that was once referred to as The Mistake by the Lake and best known for having the Cuyahoga River actually catch on fire because of the pollution that had been dumped in it has recovered to become one of the most picturesque and livable cities in the nation. Founded in 1814, the city of Cleveland was one of the biggest manufacturing and logging centers located inland from the east coast for many years. Much like nearby Pittsburg and Youngstown, Cleveland was also a steel town, and when the steel industry went into a nosedive, so did Cleveland. The city was basically a ghost town for quite a few years until revitalization efforts brought the city back from the dead. Today, Cleveland stands as a tribute to American ingenuity and as a symbol of how a steel belt city can be saved and turned into a shining jewel.

The Cleveland Brows of the NFL have a religious-like following as the city all but shuts down on a typical fall Sunday. The summer is filled with the sounds of cheering fans and cracks of the bat at Jacobs Field in downtown Cleveland, home of the Cleveland Indians. The blockish arena located right next to Jacobs Field is home to the NBA’s Cavilers, one of the best teams in the league. But Cleveland is about more than just sports. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame calls Cleveland home and brings in millions of tourists a year to this great city. A Cleveland apartment in downtown is the place to be for everything sports and music.

The best feature of Cleveland is the fierce pride residents here have about their city. For so many years, Cleveland was literally the laughing stock of the country, but thanks to the hard work of its residents, it is now a model city that is clean, has low crime and is a genuinely fun place to live.
