A suburban locale with an identity all its own

Suburban • Diverse • Commuter • Park-Like •

Loosely defined by some as South Cleveland, this sprawling suburban area encompasses a number of communities in and around Medina and Brunswick, Ohio. This wide-reaching area lacks the sheer urban sprawl of Cleveland, instead offering a laid-back, affordable community for renters looking to be close to the city but want a bit more space or a touch of peace and quiet.

You’ll find affordable apartment communities with plenty of amenities, a wide variety of single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and more in South Cleveland. Its location outside of Downtown Cleveland means there’s a pastoral atmosphere and plenty of green spaces to appreciate as well. U.S. Highway 42 and Interstate 71 serve as the major thoroughfares and arteries into the city.

I love living here. It is safe and clean which is the main reason I moved here. I love the fact that it has good transportation system and there are great universities in the neighborhood

I love this very diverse neighborhood. It is the same neighborhood that President Obama has a home in. The area gives you a suburban feel but city view. Kenwood is blocks away from downtown Hyde Park where you can go shopping, dining and to the movies. You are steps away from the lakefront beaches and a fantastic scenic view of downtown Chicago skyline.
