Just More of Ohio's North Coast Stuff

Another day in Northern Ohio.  I cover a large area traveling and enjoy a wide range of input from blogs, newspapers, etc. covering our area.  There is always something positive happening on Ohio's North Coast.

  • The Cleveland Metroparks is getting closer to taking over the currently Ohio State Park controlled lakefront parks in Cleveland.  If the results are anything like the Lorain County Metroparks taking over Lakeview park in the city of Lorain then we all should support this move.  Lakeview Park has become a true diamond along Ohio's North Coast.
  • The housing market is taking a quicker pace going forward.  You can read my previous posting on some of the reasons.  Many, many neighborhoods within our market area are seeing some real progress towards a recovery.  Thankfully we never experienced the huge bubble and decline experienced in so many other areas of the country.  
  • I love the communities along the Cuyahoga River's western shore.  Ohio City and Tremont are fantastic.  New businesses are opening so quickly that it is hard to keep track.  One business I read about recently is Visible Voice Bookstore - a very cool community oriented book store within the Tremont neighborhood.  Visit their website at:  http://www.visiblevoicebooks.com.  The Westside Market and surrounding area is thriving.  Their 100 year anniversary added new vigor to an already growing neighborhood.
  • I was on South Bass Island and drove around Put in Bay over the weekend.  There are plenty of Christmas decorations - I wish I had time to take more pictures.  The late fall residents are getting into the Christmas spirit!  We still have several listings on the island, and would be happy to set-up a tour of property available for sale.  Construction abounds - always a good sign.  Contact me today!
  • Middle Bass Island is also hopping.  The Middle Bass Island State Park Marina is now PAVED!  New blacktop throughout the marina.  The campground has opened up a large area along the lakefront - guaranteed to be some of the best views on the great lakes for campers.  Guaranteed!  Enjoy true lakefront camping.  There is still talk about a paved walk from the ferry docks to downtown (where I am proud to say our new Howard Hanna satellite real estate office is located - The Hisey Group, Howard Hanna at 851 Fox Rd).  This is a fantastic idea.  It would tie everything together, make the main road safer, and help to support all of the little businesses that exist and that will doubtlessly be created in the future.
  • Huron - what are you going to do with all of that new waterfront property?  Fantastic opportunities for a wonderful place.
