Community

Tremont is a community known for its diversity and community connectivity. The 25 churches in one square mile reflect how diverse this community really is. (The most architecturally iconic church in the neighborhood is St. Theodosius Cathedral, whose onion-domed roof can be seen for miles.)

Tremont residents have ample opportunity to really be a part of their community. Residents often join one of the 11 Block Clubs of the community. Members gather monthly to bond and discuss development projects, community programs, and local initiatives. May residents also participate in an activity- or issue-based neighborhood group or committee.

The Little Tremonster’s Facebook group helps keep parents, caregivers and neighbors informed about kid-trending topics in the Tremont area.

Tremont is home to the only portion of the trail to connect directly to an urban neighborhood, offering stunning cityscapes and the beauty of the outdoors with urban amenities.

Abbey Overlook is home to the famous Cleveland sign and incredible views of the city. Abbey Park is a greenspace with a playground and basketball court while Clark Field was Cleveland’s very first dog park. It has shaded areas, fresh water, state-of-the-art drainage, benches, and a double-gated entry system.

For the community’s athletes, Near West Recreation offers plenty.

It offers year-round recreation programming for children and select programs for adults.
