Where everyone knows everyone
In Brooklyn, about 7 miles from Downtown Cleveland, everyone knows everyone. Teachers at Brooklyn High School see their former students’ children seated in their classrooms, and the community watches the marching band parade from the school building to the football field every Friday in the fall. With upcoming renovations to parks and public facilities, Brooklyn is a community where residents are at the center. “A lot of people who live in Brooklyn are third-generation residents,” says Brooklyn City Council member and resident Andrew Borowski. “Some live in their grandparent’s homes that have been passed down to them. People love to be from here.”
Brooklyn has plenty of sidewalks for its families to walk their dog.
Forever homes
Homes in Brooklyn sit on wide, walkable streets in well-established neighborhoods. Lots are neat and uniform, with sidewalks and above-ground powerlines in front of them. Most properties were built between 1930 and 1970, with the majority of houses constructed in the 1950s. Common styles include small bungalows, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes that range in price from the low $100,000’s to the mid $200,000’s.

A-plus for The Brooklyn Hurricane Marching Band
Students are zoned for the Brooklyn City School District and can attend Brooklyn School for prekindergarten to seventh grade. Then, they can finish their public education at Brooklyn High School. These schools earn C-plus grades from Niche. Brooklyn High School’s marching band, The Brooklyn Hurricane Marching Band, was established in 1947 and has since become a community staple. Before each football game, band members march from the high school to the off-campus stadium. Director of The Brooklyn Hurricane Marching Band, Sean Sullivan, says, “People from all over the community come to the parade every Friday. We’re here for the long run, and our students and alumni see that.”
Parks in-progress
“The city is investing a lot of money in the coming years into updating parks,” Borowski says. “They’re working on new lighting, updating trails and things like that.” For the time being, residents can bring their kids to the playground, play catch in open greenspace or wander trails at Brooklyn Memorial Park. A local favorite, Big Creek Reservation includes the 2.4-mile all-purpose Lake to Lake Trail that connects Lake Abram to Lake Issac. Come winter, residents can sled, snowshoe, cross-country ski or ice fish here. Residents can join a soccer league at Marquardt Park, where there are also walking trails and a playground. For indoor activities, Borowski says, “The Cuyahoga County Library is building a brand-new library that will be across from the new City Center. Right behind it will be Memorial Park, which is also being updated. Once it’s finished, it will be a great place for family-oriented types of events.” The city also plans on updating the neighborhood rec center in the coming years, which currently sits on Memphis Avenue and has a pool, ice hockey rink and more.
Brooklyn's Big Creek Reservation provides a peaceful and scenic retreat for nature lovers.

Shopping at Ridge Park Square
Locals won’t have to travel far to access retail and dining options. They can grab groceries from Marc’s or Giant Eagle Supermarket or head to The Home Depot, Walmart Supercenter or Sam’s Club for everyday essentials. At Ridge Park Square, a shopping center, residents will find their local movie theatre. Also, here, there are retailers like Bath & Body Works and T.J. Maxx, alongside drive-through and casual dining options. For a sit-down restaurant, there’s The City Dinner, a retro spot serving American classics from a shining silver building. For dessert, residents love Bulldog Ice Cream, which serves Instagram-worthy milkshakes heaped with toppings.
Take your time and sample the scents and scrubs at Bath and Bodyworks, in Brooklyn.
Fun for kids in Brooklyn
Each summer, thousands of kids head to Memphis Kiddie Park, the country’s oldest kiddieland that’s right here in Brooklyn. Opening in 1952, the park’s rides are designed for those shorter than 50 inches. And when the holidays come to Brooklyn, so does Santa. “A week or two before Christmas, Santa visits every street and every home – even the apartment complexes,” Borowski says. “It’s one of the biggest things that people – especially children – look forward to. You can even track him online to see where he is.”
The Little Dipper has been operating at Brooklyn's Memphis Kiddie Park since 1952.

7 miles to Downtown Cleveland
“The location is a draw for people,” Borowski says. “You’re situated around major transportation hubs and only a 15-minute drive from Downtown Cleveland.” Locals can access Cleveland using Ridge Road for about 7 miles. They’re also a 10-minute or less drive from U.S. interstates 480, 71 and 90. And when it’s time to fly, the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport is about 7 miles southeast.
Brooklyn is only a short distance from downtown Cleveland.
