A compact Cleveland community with Puerto Rican influences
Small in size yet abundant in community, Clark-Fulton is Cleveland's most densely populated neighborhood. Much of the area’s vibrancy is accredited to its prominent Puerto Rican population, influencing local art, eateries and green spaces. The city’s annual Puerto Rican Parade even ends at the MetroHealth Medical Center in Clark-Fulton. “It’s slowly becoming a trendy neighborhood, like Ohio City or Detroit-Shoreway,” says Monica Rivera Wilson, a Realtor with Platinum Real Estate who has sold several homes in the area. “The location is a huge selling point. It’s close to the freeway and less than 10 minutes from downtown Cleveland.”
Clark-Fulton celebrates it diverse culture with unique metal flags along Clark Avenue.
Clark-Fulton residents have great pride in their community.

Ample interstate proximity and Cleveland public transportation access
Clark-Fulton boasts a convenient location for drivers and bus riders. The neighborhood is bounded by Interstate 90 to the north and Interstate 71 southward. A 6-mile drive north on either highway leads to downtown Cleveland. Fulton Road and Storer Avenue have numerous Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority bus stops.
20th century homes on 5,000 square foot lots
Clark-Fulton’s tree-lined streets are filled with early 20th-century homes on 5,000-square-foot lots.
Worker’s cottages, Four Squares and Craftsman-style bungalows are the most common house styles in the area. While single-family homes are the most common finds, there are also ample multifamily properties including duplexes and apartments.
“There’s a lot of investment properties in this area,” Wilson says. “You can get a house that’s already been renovated or buy one to fix yourself.”
Most people utilize street parking as there isn’t much space for garages, although a selection of homes offer off street parking. Homes in Clark-Fulton typically cost between $70,000 and $150,000 for a fixer upper, and upwards of $200,000 for a move in ready option. These prices are on pat with Cleveland home’s average $150,000 selling price.
Homes neatly line the streets of Clark-Fulton.

A locally owned hardware store and Puerto Rican pastries
Grocery store options within walking distance are sparse, but Dave’s Mercado on Ridge Road is a popular spot to pickup essentials. Established in 2007 to serve the needs of Cleveland's growing Hispanic community, the grocery store offers an extended selection of south American produce and treats.
Shoppers can also grab house plants and home improvement essentials at Castro & Sons Hardware, one of the neighborhood’s many locally owned establishments.
Las Villas Deli & Pastries is a casual, Puerto Rican spot known for its traditional flan and sandwiches, like the tripleta piled high with steak, pork shoulder and ham. Since the 1920s, Johnny’s Bar has been a Cleveland go-to for a swanky setting and North Italian fare, including veal parmesan served over marinara-covered linguini. Residents can also shop at big-box stores like Target and Walmart Supercenter in the Steelyard Commons commercial center 2 miles east on Steelyard Drive.
