They're going through some legal issues with their building's landlord according to their FB page. It seems to have something to do with shoddy work done by a contractor to their store. That was last May... unfortunately doesn't seem like they'll be reopening any time soon if at all.

Yeah they do. It’ll be 8pm on a Friday. And a tiny dominos car goes flying down my street. But I will say, I’ve never had a long wait for their food

And a ton walk. So it’s not bad. And you can easily avoid that area if needed

Honestly the dominoes on Detroit is more of a nuisance than the high school. At least you know when the high school drivers are gonna be out. The dominoes drivers tear up and down the streets at all hours.

Pros- Easy Walking distance to Aldi, biking to Target/GE on 117th, walking distance to Madison food options, Clifton, and parks

LHS Community gym access upstairs for <$30/mo, pool

Can hear the band practice in the summer with windows open if you're listening for it

Parking situation seems better in birdtown than other areas of Lakewood

Chill neighborhood, safe

Cons- Occasionally congested around the school by pickup/dropoff times but easily avoided

Lack of yard space seems more common

It’s the final destination for all of us.

16th street.

Well he died so yeah

At least you left no doubt in your trolling.

I love a block or two down bunts, and it is not noticable during winter. The area is beautiful, and your near so much, so you don't need to drive anywhere

There’s some kid on 16th that sells some really good crack

I live in the area. You'll be hearing a lot of marching band music on Thursdays and Fridays, but it's generally not very loud. It's annoying sometimes to drive when school lets out, but highschool students in Lakewood are generally almost surprisingly responsible and not-annoying. The area itself is IMO primo Lakewood.

Can see the school from my house. You can hear football games with the windows closed a tad but nothing that would even stop me from sleeping. When outside today I could hear the baseball announcer, but nothing from inside. Traffic gets busy at 8:00 and 3:00, and I’d recommend just taking Madison instead of Franklin at those times and avoiding Bunts between the two. No issues whatsoever, plenty of kids walk by before and after school and not once have I seen one do anything rude. The upstairs gym is for the public, but is $27 a month or $270 a year. It’s not the biggest gym but always empty at lunch so it’s great to be able to walk there and back. And I love the neighborhood

Well depending on how old they were I might’ve been the one playing, so glad they enjoyed it!

If it is a good price do it. I live in the neighborhood and love the central location.

I raised my kids on this block - they loved dancing to marching band practice. During crowded football games, we’d let our friends park in the driveway for beer or baked goods.

I’d say these go in the plus column

Edit: typos

School is only in session 8-3 five days a week, and even then only like ten months out of the year, rest of the time it's just an empty building with a community gym. There's a lot of plusses about that neighborhood, especially right by Madison. Lots of cool businesses bars and restaurants. I lived four blocks away for ten years and the only real hectic event I remember were big St Ed's games a few times a year, which can actually be kind of cool.

Like anywhere in Lakewood street parking is hit and miss. Taxes are what some people would consider high, and depending where you're coming from I've known people to complain about noise. Those are all things to consider anywhere in the city but I'd say that part of town is busier than most.

That close you can hear the marching band practice in the summer and the crowds from The football stadium on Friday night. I’ll leave it up to you to decide if that’s a a pro or a con

I'd be more concerned about buying a home near St Eds. Private school kids have more money and opportunity to get in trouble.

Plus all those out of town parents drive like jerks. My favorite is watching the cars with Ed's stickers going the speed limit on Chesterland when they have their kids in the car, and then blast 50 MPH leaving the city after dropping their kids off. You don't get this nearly as much with LHS since a large portion of the students still walk to school.

I used to live off of Lincoln and Madison, it's the usual school traffic morning/afternoon and occasional evening stadium noise when the weather is nice.

Looks better than I expected. So that's nice.

Love a good pit

A smaller secondary pit to accent the large one.
