Cleveland Heights

Considering that most people choose to live close to their place of employment, it makes perfect sense that Cleveland Heights continues to thrive. Situated "up the hill" from University Circle, one of the largest employment centers in Northeast Ohio, Cleveland Heights is a hop, skip and jump for those who work in the area.

This near-east neighborhood dishes up fat slices of the American Dream -- beautiful homes on tree-lined streets within close proximity to parks, schools, libraries and public transportation provide residents with the best of all worlds. Home to the Lee Road, Cedar-Fairmount, and Coventry Road business districts -- and around the corner from Shaker Square -- the community possesses everything one can possibly need.
