3. Old Brooklyn
Old Brooklyn offers a quaint, suburban atmosphere with lots of open space. The best part? It's only a few miles from downtown.

One of the most lively nightlife destinations in Cleveland, East 4th Street is an endlessly walkable, unforgettably unique stretch of shops, restaurants, apartments and so much more.
8. Edgewater
As exciting as the hustle and bustle of downtown can be, sometimes you just want a little peace of mind. While there's not exactly much to do around Edgewater, its tranquil, natural environs and unobstructed access to Lake Erie more than make up for it.
