Berea Reviews
Rating 3.84 out of 5 88 reviews
A small town that is very out of date but safe. Taxes are extremely expensive and they don't go towards new buildings or town improvements. The town is decently safe but the high school brings students from Berea, Brookpark (the dirty Cleveland area), and Middleburg Heights (Parma area) together. When the Brookpark students come into Berea for schooling, the town is looked down upon because of the rough and mean exterior the students bring to the town.
Berea is a quaint small town with lovely parks, local shops and restaurants. And it has the appeal of living near the airport and larger city of Cleveland.
As far as midwestern suburbs go, Berea is mostly standard fare. Berea has a low crime rate, and is a good place to raise kids if you have them, since the schools are all in close proximity to one another. On what could be improved--definitely needs more diversity, as well as more sources of entertainment and nightlife, and an increase in accessible public transportation. There's much more to do in Cleveland, which isn't too far away. Berea does host some festivals and art events, which can be fun. Not that bad of a town, but can feel a bit boring and isolating at times.
