South Hills - Cleveland, OH Area Guide

An idyllic suburb on the outskirts of Cleveland

Suburban Quiet Commuter Affordable Park-Like

South Hills is nestled in the intersection of Interstate 480 and the Jennings Freeway, about six miles south of Downtown Cleveland. This spacious suburb offers up quintessential single-family homes for rent, but there are also apartments to be found along Broadview Road. There are parks and even a community garden in South Hills, giving this charming suburb a vibrant atmosphere, especially in the summer. The entirety of the area is residential, but there are a few restaurants and big-box stores along the freeway and even more offerings to the west along State Road. Quick access to the interstate means commuters can be in the heart of Cleveland in just 10 minutes, but the lower cost of living means you’ll get more space than those closer to the city.
