    Cleveland is a nice town to live in. There are many fun places to go! There are a ton of cute coffee shops and restaurants, especially near Lee University. However, at night, as with most towns, it can be kind of dangerous to walk alone, and police lights can usually be seen nightly. Overall, the people are nice and there are a lot of opportunities. It's a cute town. There are also a few parks that are nice, including a long walking path. If you are looking for a place to run and stay in shape, this is a good place. It's pretty because of all of the mountains, and it is only about 30 minutes from Chattanooga and also the mountains for hiking. Lastly, driving traffic is decent as long as you avoid school zones during school hours.

    Cleveland has really grown throughout the years which has made it more convenient. I think it still misses things for families to do together like close by minigolf or parks. If you're a coffee fanatic then you'll enjoy the various options of small coffee shops around the town. They do have nearby hiking trails that are really nice and the Ocoee River, which you can go water rafting or kayaking. The closest and biggest city is Chattanooga which is 45 minutes away and has many things to do there.
    Cleveland is a town between Knoxville and Chattanooga, TN. Being this is my hometown, my view might be a bit different from someone who hasn't grown up here. Although Cleveland is a smaller town, we are in close approximation to larger towns nearby, making a commute manageable. Some have referred to Cleveland as the Buckle of the Bible Belt, for years Church of God had their annual assembly here, and their headquarters still resides here. The town has much to offer with a small town feel.
