A ukulele is small enough to keep ready for practice, but comfort still matters. In Middleburg Heights, try the actual instrument and notice whether your fingers reach the frets easily, the body rests securely, and the fret spacing feels manageable; age alone doesn't determine the right size. Older homes can have different room layouts, so choose a spot where the instrument can stay safely accessible without being in the way. Santana Bro's Music, Timeless Guitars, and 623 Guitars are places to see ukuleles. After choosing one, check tuning as strings settle or temperatures change, and ask your teacher how to care for it. A tuner is useful to keep nearby.
