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.
