A neighborhood with an industrial legacy
South Collinwood’s early development was spurred by the construction of 120 miles of railroad track that separated it from Cleveland’s northside.

However, traditional homebuyers can still find charming residences here.
South Collinwood is a slice of a larger area in Cleveland known as Collinwood.
North and South Collinwood are split up by I-90 and the railroad tracks.
