Cleveland, OH Community Information

Sitting on the shores of Lake Erie, Cleveland is about as Midwest as the Midwest gets. The Cleveland metro area includes neighboring Akron, Youngstown, Toledo and Canton.

You'll find many of the state's leading primary and secondary schools, public and private neighboring these higher-education institutions.

With a diverse economy Cleveland has become a leader in biosciences, polymers and advanced materials, research and technology, aerospace and more. Cleveland's manufacturing sector was once Ohio's cornerstone and continues to aggressively compete through advanced technology, which has boosted productivity and strengthened the city's place in the global marketplace.

With the median home price listed at $145,000, housing in Cleveland remains affordable for any growing family or young professional. Tremont, which is located about five miles from Lake Erie, has blossomed into one of the hottest neighborhoods south of the downtown area. Tremont is an amalgamation of Mediterranean ethnic groups, with an emphasis on Greek. The Tremont area treats you to some of the best views of downtown Cleveland and the Flats area. You will also enjoy Lincoln Park with its famed Bathhouse, which has been remodeled into condominiums.

The ultimate Tremont dining experience comes in the form of Sokolowski's University Inn, while Dempsey's Oasis Tavern and the Lincoln Park Pub are cornerstones of a burgeoning Tremont night scene. Shops and artistry line the streets, while old homes and inner-city living still exists.

The Flats neighborhood, which is located down the hill from downtown on the very near-west side of town, has reinvented itself as one of the most desirable places to live in the city. The clean-up of the once-burning Cuyahoga River has coincided with the emergence of an entertainment district and the development of new condos along the waterfront. Cleveland is a place of connections, an evolving community, vibrant and viable. So begin your Cleveland real estate search today!
