A small Ohio city with proud residents
Entering the 20th century, Cleveland Heights had a population of less than 2,000, but by its incorporation as a city in 1921, it had a population of more than 15,000. That number would peak at just under 62,000 in the 1960s and has slowly declined since, settling at just over 45,000 in 2022. Despite the challenges faced by the city, its residents take pride in the city and its offerings. “If you think about the Cleveland Heights attitude right now, the one person that stands out is Travis Kelce,” says Howard and Hanna Realtor Geoffrey Hoffman, a native of Cleveland Heights. “He went to Cleveland Heights High School. He embodies the balance of aggressive friendliness.” With downtown Cleveland sitting roughly 10 miles west, many Cleveland Heights residents travel to the larger city for work, and major employers in the area include Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland-Cliffs and TransDigm Group.
Cleveland Heights is a small city with lots of warmth and personality.

Gilded mansions and colonial revivals from the 1920s
Housing styles include “everything from affordable three-bedroom colonials to literal gilded mansions and everything in between,” Hoffman says. “While some newer construction exists, most of the homes were built in the 1920s.” Sidewalks line the Cleveland Heights neighborhoods, where residents walk their dogs or stroll the tree-lined streets with their children. Lots tend to be narrow, and homes are set back from the street, giving residents space in the front yard. Prices vary widely, starting at $50,000 for small homes needing substantial repair and surpassing $1 million for turnkey manors boasting nearly 10,000 square feet. The 2024 median home price was $209,000, up 7% from the previous year. For comparison, the median home price in the U.S. was $429,813 in 2024.

The three-day summer festival showcases works in wood, clay, jewelry and many other mediums and features live music, mural painting and food from local vendors.

Lower crime rates and air quality
Except for the occasional spike, FBI data shows that violent crime rates in Cleveland Heights tend to be lower than state and national averages, and property crime rates follow a similar trend. Environmental data indicates some moderate risk of flood impact to roads over the next 30 years, but the risk to other properties is minor. As part of the larger Cleveland metro area, the city also tends to have worse air quality than most other cities in Ohio.
