A community on the brink of a rebirth
Kinsman has evolved from a 19th-century industrial community into a small, 21st-century neighborhood with emerging opportunities to address longstanding inequities, some of which stem from racial tensions that plagued southeast Cleveland in the 1950s. Decades of disinvestment in the area led to neglect and a lack of resources. Still, recent housing development projects prioritized by Mayor Bibb worth millions of dollars are being poured back into the neighborhood.“Despite being in the heart of the city, Kinsman has many green spaces and farms nestled between its train stations and main streets,” says Josh Jones Forbes, marketing and communications director at Cleveland Neighborhood Progress. “Neighbors know each other through creative community efforts, like WOVU 95.9 FM radio and the BoxSpot mini-shops.” These are backed by nonprofit development group Burten, Bell, Carr Development Inc., who also helped establish the Rid-All Green Partnership, an urban farm in the heart of the neighborhood that plays a vital role in supporting the community.
Millions poured into new housing developments
Mayor Bibb has prioritized revitalizing Cleveland’s Southeast Side, including Kinsman. “The city’s Southeast Side is a point of emphasis for the current mayoral administration, with recent projects directly affecting residents. Before these efforts, a portion of the neighborhood was known as the ‘Forgotten Triangle,’ impacting both the Kinsman and Woodland Hills communities,” said Terry Metter, a librarian at the Cleveland Public Library. Supported by $45 million in grants, the area is transforming, including the construction of new apartments and a large-scale reconstruction of Woodhill Homes. For prospective homebuyers, purchasing a home in the area can be financially advantageous compared to renting. Colonial-style homes, priced between $14,000 and the low $100,000s, offer affordable opportunities for ownership.
Small cottages and Cape Cods give Kinsman its warmth and charm.
Kinsman has become a hot spot for new, modern, single family homes.

Cultivate green spaces at Black-owned, Rid-All Green Partnership
Twenty-three acres of vacant land drew the attention of the Rid-All Green Partnership, an urban farm in the heart of the community. It is part of Cleveland’s Urban Agriculture Innovation Zone, an initiative to transform vacant land into a hub for creative agricultural activities and farming incubators. Locals can contribute by cultivating the land and working in the community kitchen, which hosts popular events like “Taco Tuesday” lunches and “Fish Fry Friday” dinners.Nearby, Luke Easter Park is a gathering place for family reunions, picnics, and holiday events. The Zelma Watson George Recreation Center, located within the park, features a roller-skating facility that holds weekly events for all ages. Another local landmark, Sidaway Bridge, the only pedestrian suspension bridge in Ohio, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Once a vital connection between southeast Cleveland neighborhoods, residents now advocate for its restoration.
