City is Not Business or Real Estate Owner Friendly 1 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 14, 2019) Berea is a pretty city that is probably a nice place to live. Unfortunately, if you want to operate a business or own real estate here, the city will not be your friend. We owned real estate and a business in Berea for over 10 years and found the city take advantage of us on ma ...Read More ny occasions. For example, the school board would fight to raise our taxes every year, and for 7 years, the city hiked the value of our to 75% higher than what if sold for. Our appeals were continuously rejected. Eventually, we ended up spending thousands on an attorney to get the property valued at a fair market value, which still ended up being higher than sale price but at least within reason. We were charged an exorbitant late fee ($600) for a tax payment that the city claimed to have received 1 day late even though it was mailed 10 days in advance. The city refused to accept an appeal for a water bill for a leak we had in one of our properties which we thought had been repaired by a plumber because they do not accept appeals for "commercial" properties. So if you are looking at Berea as city to live in it would probably be very pleasant. If you want to do business here, I highly recommend finding a more business friendly city. Read Less
Berea: Cleveland Browns Training Facility 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) Would you like to see Baker Mayfield at the Cleveland Browns training camp? Then go to Berea, Ohio. Berea is "The Grindstone Capital of the World." The city had a very important stone quarry that became irrelevant when concrete became more dominant. Berea, Ohio is 5.83 square mil ...Read More es.

With the 1st pick of the NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns selected Baker Mayfield. You might be able to see him early on at the Cleveland Browns Training Facility in the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds in Berea, Ohio. There are many sports connections to Berea: Bud Collins and Jim Tressel were from this town.

The housing needs to be upgraded. The cost of living is a bit high. Crime is low. Education and employment opportunities are abundant. You have a nice choice of food at Berea, including 3 Brothers Pizza, Brew Kettle Taproom, Don's Pomeroy House and Sweet Mango Berea. If you love J.S. Bach, you might want to visit the Baldwin-Wallace Riemenschneider Bach Institute. Read Less
