Historic Brooklyn Centre Home - Cleveland, Ohio
Our home is located in the Historic Brooklyn Centre neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. We are located close to MetroHealth Hospital and within immediate access to downtown, restaurants and the Metroparks Zoo. You’ll love our place because of the convenient location and the terrific space.
Brooklyn Center is viewed as an emerging neighborhood with stable historic housing stock, although our immediate retail district has seen a record number of vacancies in recent years. There are numerous development projects taking shape in our area due to the recent and planned $1.2 billion investment in MetroHealth Systems, our major anchor institution.
Our neighborhood is centrally located and close to the other popular west side neighborhoods of Clark-Fulton, Tremont, Ohio City, Detroit Shoreway and downtown.
For walkers, runners, bicyclists and outdoor enthusiasts there are several parks and all-purpose trails close by. The closest City park, W. C. Reed Park, just a 10-minute walk East (.6 of a mile) from the house.
The larger Metroparks Brookside Reservation is just a 15-walk West (.8 of a mile); and, the Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation that connects via 7.2 miles of towpath trails to the to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (26.5 miles of towpath all-purpose trails and over 125 miles of hiking trails, is a 10-minute bike ride at just 1.5 miles from the house to the East.
We can provide guests additional information, including details on - Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, an excursion railroad that runs 26.5 miles through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The Northern most train station is reached via an 8-mile, 40-minute bike ride mostly on the towpath trail, or by a car (15-minutes, 10.5 miles to the Southeast of us.
There are two units that we rent to medium to long term guests with stays from 1-3 months. We enjoy hosting medical doctors, residents, interns as well as summer professional interns.
