More than 16,000 residents call Downtown home, making it larger than some of the nearby suburbs. Most of the residential buildings that EA’s clients lean towards are former warehouses, office buildings or banks that have been converted into apartments and offer many amenities including: dog washing stations, concierge service and fitness rooms.  They are mostly within a 10 by 15 block area of the city. Look for buildings in the Warehouse District, Public Square, The Flats (East Bank), the Theater District, 9/12 District, North Coast Harbor and the Gateway District. A great resource to check out is the website: downtowncleveland. Keep in mind, while buying a home in Greater Cleveland is often a bargain compared to bigger cities, renting, especially in highly desirable neighborhoods, is almost on par with the coastal cities, which often surprises newcomers.
