Battery Park

Battery Park may be one of the most up-and-coming upscale neighborhoods in Cleveland. It's located right along the waterway, but not directly on the beachfront — meaning you can purchase a waterfront home without the beachfront price! That, plus the recent construction of townhomes and loft properties in the community, means it's never been a better time to buy in Battery Park. The redevelopment of the neighborhood has brought with it an urban feel, without sacrificing the old historic details. While there isn't a ton to do in the neighborhood yet, we're pretty sure that within the next couple of years, Battery Park will be one of the most popular neighborhoods in the city. Plus, the area is just minutes from downtown, the Gordon Square Arts District and Edgewater Park, so you don't have to go that far to experience all Cleveland has to offer.

If you're looking for a funky, unique neighborhood to call home — you've found it! Waterloo is located on the east side of Cleveland and is part of the old-school North Collinwood neighborhood. If you walk down the street where the neighborhood gets its name, you'll find an eclectic mix of locally owned bars, art venues, and some of the coolest street art in all of Cleveland! Waterloo was created as a place where artists can live and work, contributing to the health of the community. Wherever you go in this artsy neighborhood, you're pretty much guaranteed to stumble across some beautiful art installation and during the summer, the area hosts The Waterloo Arts Fest, which is one of the most popular annual events in Northeast Ohio.

The popular Tremont neighborhood is known as one of Cleveland's most historically significant neighborhoods, as it was a hotspot for Eastern European immigrants in the late 19th century. Today, however, the area has become home to a large number of young professionals and artists. The streets are dotted with contemporary townhouses along with historic homes, creating an eclectic mix that is hard to pass up. Tremont is also home to the highest concentration of art galleries in Cleveland, causing creative individuals who don't already live in the area to flock here for monthly art walks when local art galleries and businesses keep their doors open late You can't visit the area without stopping by the famous A Christmas Story House, where the classic Christmas movie was filmed, along with the Convergence Continuum Theater where you can get a fabulous dose of culture.

In addition to its biking culture, this neighborhood also offers plenty of outdoor exploration opportunities like Mill Creek Falls, the tallest waterfall in Cuyahoga County, the Morgana Run Trail, which used to be a decommissioned freight train line, and several beautiful green spaces. While Slavic Village doesn't have a huge bar scene right now, it does offer plenty of other things to do including the Nash on East 80th, which is a local comedy hotspot that has been churning out rising stars for years.

West Park is located just south of Lakewood and became the last suburb annexed into Cleveland proper in 1923.

McIntyre's). Search for Homes for Sale in West ParkLarchmere
Larchmere, in our opinion, is one of the most underrated neighborhoods in Cleveland. Because of its bustling neighbor, Shaker Square, people often overlook Larchmere, mistaking it for a quiet, pretty neighborhood with very little to do. But we like to say Larchmere is Cleveland's best-kept secret! The area is home to an assortment of lovely vintage and craft stores, award-winning restaurants and art galleries — all complete with quaint, historic charm. Some of the shops and eateries, like Felice and Batuqui, are located in gorgeous converted Victorian homes. And, the Academy Tavern, a delicious watering hole with a lauded dinner menu, has been going strong for over 80 years. So while the rest of the world hasn't discovered how amazing the area is, you definitely should! Stop by and explore some of the affordable homes currently on the market, the neighborhood staple, Loganberry Books (one of the most famous bookstores in Northeast Ohio) and grab a bite at Big Al's, a diner that offers one of the best breakfasts around.
