New growth for Old Brooklyn
Clevelanders have called Old Brooklyn home for more than 200 years. Located about 6 miles from downtown, this community of 25,000 is one of the city’s most prominent neighborhoods. Although it has challenges — such as ongoing brownfield remediation, vacant properties and underutilized commercial spaces — residents here are working toward the future. Projects include the transformation of a former landfill into a park and a $30 million redevelopment project for Memphis Avenue and Pearl Road.
Redeveloping Memphis and Pearl
One of the neighborhood’s most significant opportunities for growth is the redevelopment of the intersection of Memphis Avenue, Pearl Road and Broadview Road. This commercial district, also the site of St. Luke’s United Church of Christ, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The Old Brooklyn Community Development Corporation was awarded over $2 million of Ohio Brownfield Remediation grant funds to remove asbestos and lead and to demolish and repurpose buildings on Memphis and Pearl. While residents have been somewhat split between the adaptive reuse of some buildings and the creation of a new mixed-use development, most locals agree new business is a priority. Faith is an essential part of life in the area. Numerous churches and houses of worship are nearby, including Catholic, Lutheran and Baptist churches. So, it makes sense that one proposed compromise would transform the abandoned St. Luke’s Church into a mixed-use development with market-rate apartments, shopping, dining, and places for fellowship.
Residents of Old Brooklyn have easy access to a wide range of amenities.

Local businesses on Broadview Road
Though Old Brooklyn is home to an eclectic commercial scene, it’s not just business here. “The neighborhood has a familial feel to it,” says Conner Gail, Housing Coordinator at Old Brooklyn Community Development Corporation. “Even the businesses have a genuinely homey feel. Shops treat you like you are a part of their family.” The area along Broadview Road has a wealth of local businesses and restaurants. Rebel Reserve is an eclectic western-inspired coffee shop and vintage store, while Gabe’s Family Restaurant is a homey diner dishing out classic American fare. Broadview Road is also home to local markets like the no-frills Ziggy’s Produce and Farm Market. There are plenty of dessert options, too, including Jack Frost Donuts and B.A. Sweetie Candy Company, both local landmarks. In addition to offering candy by the pound, the B.A. Sweetie also has a 36-hole miniature golf course and an old-fashioned soda shop. The Buckland Museum of Witchcraft and Magick showcases a unique collection of over 500 artifacts related to folklore and the supernatural.The Old Brooklyn Farmers Market, open from July to September, offers fresh produce, artisanal goods and local crafts. The Steelyard Commons shopping center is another recent development north of town, and it features big-box stores like Home Depot, Marshalls, Target and Walmart Supercenter.
Saturday mornings at City Diner, in Brooklyn, are always jam packed.

Home to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and Cleveland’s largest community garden
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is a neighborhood highlight with more than 2,500 animals from 600 species. The zoo also hosts events throughout the year like the annual Wild Winter Lights, a walk- or drive-through holiday light show. Brighton Park is another example of growth and change in the neighborhood. The former landfill has been transformed into a green space with walking paths and native plants. Another community gem is the Ben Franklin Community Garden. At 5 acres, it’s Cleveland’s largest community garden. Brookside Reservation has even more green space with trails and baseball fields. Huntington Bank Field, home to the Cleveland Browns, is 8 miles away. Fans can catch a Cavaliers game at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse or cheer for the Guardians at Progressive Field, both of which are 5 miles away.

A variety of home styles in Old Brooklyn
The neighborhood has several different housing styles, including Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, Cape Cod, ranch-style homes and bungalows. Multi-family dwellings and duplexes are common, and buyers can find mobile homes. “It is a very affordable neighborhood for many Clevelanders, which makes it harder to find a home here. People are not selling. And if they do, houses get snatched up quickly,” Gail says. Homes spend an average of 22 days on the market, compared to the national average of 45. Many houses have two-car garages. Locals routinely walk their dogs on the neighborhood’s sidewalks. Despite its urban nature, the area has an abundance of mature trees. Most homes were built between 1920 and 1960. Mobile homes and fixer-uppers can cost between $50,000 and $100,000. Move-in ready homes often range from $75,000 to $285,000 and increase in price with additional space and renovations. The occasional new build can cost between $350,000 and $400,000. Duplexes and multi-family homes can range from $50,000 to $385,000, depending on the size and extent of renovations.
Many styles of homes can be found lining the streets of Old Brooklyn.
