North Collinwood is best place to live

On the cover of yesterday's Plain Dealer, the lead story shared that the cleveland.com website now includes an online survey where users can select their most important criteria and then various communities in Northeast Ohio are ranked to determine the user's best place to live.

Northeast Shores is elated to discover that North Collinwood was selected as only one of four City of Cleveland neighborhoods to be compared against our suburban peers. As we have said for years, North Collinwood competes strongly with our suburban competition and now we have an application that proves it.

Areas where North Collinwood competed strongly (top 10) against 99 other Northeast Ohio communities include:
1) Urbanity - A measure of the proximity between the distance between homes and retail businesses.
2) Most affordable housing
3) Rental Housing Available
4) Proximity to Lake Erie
5) Proximity to Downtown Cleveland
6) Racial Diversity

North Collinwood also scored well (but not top 10) in several other categories. We appreciate the opportunity to compete with our regional peers and look forward to improving areas where we are not meeting our aspirations so we can continue to be the absolute best location in Northeast Ohio to catch a sunset.
