I actually live in Cleveland (look at my moniker). Cleveland is great if you want to live out of town (I moved here from NY). Pros:
Very good for a small community, at least 8 shuls: Young Israel, modern orthodox, yeshivish, even a small Chassideshe Shteible called Alexander Rebbe, kiddushim every shabbos, etc.
three k-12 schools: modern, mizrachi type (coed-but orthodox); regular called Hebrew Academy, very good, middle of the road school, no New York shtick, (ie obsession with white shirts etc), good rebbeim and teachers; yeshivish school called Mosdos; Also Teshe Yeshivah,(yeshivish, Litvishe type) grades 9-12 with a Beis Midrash program for post h.s.); also Hebrew Academy has a middle of the road grades 9-12 h.s. program, (small though).
Also like 5 Kollelelim where a lot of the people learn before and after work.
Cons:
One restaurant, (fleishig); one Israeli place, (fleishig, shwarma etc); 2 pizza shops;
So not too much to do: most people go to work and learn at night, not too much night activities or exitement (some people are looking for that slow paced life though).
Housing: very affordable; nice houses in the frum neighborhoods $200k, often less in the certain areas.
Summary: if you want to get out of NY and want a slow paced, no frills lifestyle, enjoy!
