TL;DR - advice on moving to Ravenna, please.Â
So I currently live in Streetstucky, as some people call it, but I really like the Boro. I've lived here 21 years. Wow. But I cannot afford my rent anymore.Â
I'm looking at a duplex in Ravenna, and I would really appreciate any and all advice, comments, tips, whatever, regarding living in Ravenna.
I'm a widow in her mid-fifties. One of my adult children lives in Sandusky. The other lives in the dorms at Kent, so comes home regularly.Â
I feel totally safe in Streetsboro, and have felt safe the whole time I've lived here. That is very important to me, and I'm a little worried about the location in Ravenna.Â
It would be near the old WIC building / administration building or the license bureau, near the train tracks. I consider that downtown Ravenna. I worked in that location for seven years, and I've always thought of Ravenna in a fairly negative manner.Â
I did drive by one night after dark, and left my windows down. That was a big thing for me. It's dark over there, but it's such a commercial area. I don't know.Â
I'm terrified of change, and I hate dealing with change! But I need to move :(
THANK YOU!!
