What it’s like to live in Coventry Village
Bohemian energy defines Coventry Village, where independent bookstores, record shops, and vegetarian-friendly restaurants create a distinctly non-chain commercial district. Residents enjoy the Coventry P.E.A.C.E. Park and Coventry Village Library, with regular street fairs closing the main thoroughfare for community celebrations. Though century-old homes require ongoing maintenance consideration, the neighborhood's walkability and vibrant street life compensate for occasional infrastructure challenges. The strong local arts scene includes multiple galleries and performance venues, while the nearby Cain Park hosts summer concerts under the stars.

What it’s like to live in Cedar Lee
Film buffs and creative professionals gravitate to Cedar-Lee, where Cleveland Heights' artsy heart beats strongest. The neighborhood surrounds the historic Cedar Lee Theatre, with indie shops and locally-owned restaurants creating actual street life rare in Northeast Ohio. Rentals in this zone typically occupy the upper floors of beautifully maintained 1920s homes, with hardwood floors and built-in bookshelves reflecting a more gracious construction era. Unlike downtown Cleveland apartments, you'll find street parking generally available, and many units include dedicated spots. The Cedar-Lee-Meadowbrook development is bringing new housing options to the district, though longtime residents prefer the character of established properties. For the best blend of affordability and charm, look at side streets off Cedar rather than directly on the main commercial strip – you'll get the same walkable access with quieter evenings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The murals on the west and east sides of the Heights Center Building paint the picture perfectly. On the east mural, folks are lined up for the streetcar, waiting to take off in all directions. On the west mural, shops and stores within the building are illustrated. All the people coming, going and relaxing around this intersection today indicate that Cleveland Heights is truly a destination point and launching pad.

A guy like John D. Rockefeller could have chosen anywhere in the world to live, but he chose Cleveland Heights. The city is within close range of Cleveland, and it's also close to Lake Erie, but not close enough to get blown over by gusts of wind. The tree-lined roads give the town an appealing ambiance. The 46,121 people who live here are doing more than following in the footsteps of Rockefeller. The town, architecturally speaking, is an intriguing blend of the classic and the modern. That, in many ways, carries over to life here. In Cleveland Heights, you get history, modernity and beauty all at once. That, above all else, is what originally attracted folks like Rockefeller to the area.

Moving to Cleveland Heights

Do you think Rockefeller came to the area without doing his research first? You should do your research first too. In many ways, getting a house or apartment rental in Cleveland Heights is similar to Cleveland, but some of the details differ.

Bungalows, two-family doubles, grand apartments, and mansions highlight the real estate market here. These are the signature pieces of property in Cleveland Heights, and have been for a long time. As far as property rentals go, few towns in the U.S. offer more historic homes. A lot of the housing in Cleveland Heights was constructed in the 1910s and 1920s, and a good portion of the houses you'll tour will be from that era.

Bungalows

Bungalows here are mostly one or one-and-a-half story houses. These cute little houses are located throughout town and are available to buy as well as lease. Overall, houses account for just under 60 percent of the units here; you will have more rental choices with detached, one-unit homes.

Two-Family Doubles

If you are looking for duplexes for rent, you will not have any trouble, as two-family double homes total more than 1,200 in Cleveland Heights. Although these colonial-style homes are no longer being built, they are still popular among renters and are not usually owner-occupied.

Grand Mansions

Mansions, especially those in proximity to Mayfield Road and Taylor Road, are typically owner-occupied but do spice up the town with a mixture of architectural designs.

Grand Apartments

Grand apartments, which were also mostly erected in the first half of the 20th century, offer renters another exciting option, as these complexes by Euclid Heights Boulevard are quite stunning. Altogether, apartments and condos account for about 30 percent of the housing units here, so you have ample choice.

Important Info for Renters

Cleveland Heights has a higher rental occupancy rate than the state of Ohio, at 42 percent. Additionally, the market has always had a healthy flux of open homes, so finding a house or apartment for rent is not incredibly difficult. You'll find that May and June are times when lots of leases expire. If you search during the middle of spring, finding a pad will be easy. If you come at the beginning of summer, you may be too late, as most openings are taken before June. Another time to look is during late July and early August, as some leases expire when August ends. The late fall is also a good time because some rental agreements end when the year does. January through March sees less action, but this is the period when you'll discover the best deals as the market is rather dead during these months. If you give yourself one to two weeks, you should be able to get what you need, especially if you are searching for something in managed complexes like Cleveland Heights Apartments or Belvoir Center. If you aren't in a rush, allot yourself a few more days to ensure you make a good choice. You don't want to move into a place on a whim only to discover later that the location does not offer the convenience you need.

A Quick Tip

Over 56 percent of the homes in Cleveland Heights were built before 1939. While many of these homes were masterfully designed and have stood the test of time, some issues could exist with the property, and landlords won't mention these in their listing. Unless you specifically are looking for apartment or condo rentals in a managed community, you should check to make sure the appliances are working and the structure is sound. Overall, the chances of you dealing directly with an individual owner are much higher here than in nearby Cleveland. Before signing a contract, look through the house with the landlord and note any issues; that way, you will not be held responsible for any prior damages.

Getting the Contract Finished

Things you need to prepare, in addition to paying one month's rent and a security deposit upfront, include: a credit check, residence history and references from previous owners. There is a possibility a background check will be performed. Application fees and Realtor fees may also be involved. On top of all that, you should be 100 percent clear on what bills are included and what you must pay each month. You probably won't find an all-bills-paid apartment, but most owners throw in free water or heating to attract potential renters. Do note that most of the time, landlords just want to know you are going to give them what's owed every month. Just make certain you have the extra stuff ready to show.

Cleveland Heights Neighborhoods

Within this city of 8.13 square miles, there are several iconic, time-honored neighborhoods that possess a sizzling mesh of tradition and modernity.
