Waterloo Arts Fest celebrates art and expression annually
Waterloo Arts is a local nonprofit in the neighborhood focused on providing arts programming. Since 2004, the organization has operated a gallery that holds live music and open mic events and a space for arts education. It supports resident artists and has eight studios. The gallery is also home to Zoetic Walls, a public art program showcasing works by regional and international artists.Each year, the nonprofit organizes the Waterloo Arts Fest, celebrating the community's vibrant arts scene with live performances, art installations, and interactive workshops.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Waterloo Arts received funding from the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District to build a green roof. This project not only repaired their leaking roof but also prevented over 100,000 gallons of rainwater from entering storm sewers each year. The Beachland Ballroom regularly hosts concerts, keeping the local music culture alive with hometown performers.
Cindy Barber is the executive director of the nonprofit Cleveland Rocks: Past, Present and Future. This organization is dedicated to supporting local artists and honoring Cleveland's rich music history. It also focuses on creating a sustainable music scene by providing resources, retail opportunities, and performance spaces for musicians in the area. Barber's nonprofit operates a store in the old Music Saves record store in the neighborhood.

Neighborhood rich in 20th-century homes
The housing market in the Waterloo Arts District offers a diverse range of architectural styles. Many homes with large front porches line the neighborhood, where locals often take strolls along the sidewalks. "There are a lot of older homes. This area is pretty much... 20th-century homes, and that's pretty much what it's always going to be unless somebody demolishes a house and builds something new," says Tate. Colonial homes start as low as $47,500 for fixer-upper options, while some can cost up to $155,000. Duplex homes range from $73,000 to $125,000, providing flexibility for both single families and rental opportunities for investors. A limited amount of American Four-Square houses can cost $51,000, while Cape Cod styles range from $89,000 to $100,000. The median home price is $84,300, making it more accessible for first-time buyers, although the number of homes on the market is limited.
