Posted December 6, 20204 yr Hey guys! It's been a long time since I was in Cleveland last, and I've been wanting to go up there again to get some pictures for my Instagram page, but now that I'm going to school in Columbus instead of NE Ohio, it's a bit difficult to find the time. However, I decided to skip classes and go up to Cleveland for a little day trip! I started by walking around the historic Edgewater neighborhood, then I stopped in Hingetown (mainly to see the new development), and made quick stops in Tremont/Duck Island as well as Little Italy. I have a ton of pictures, so I figured I'd share them with you guys! Today's photo tour is of Edgewater, but I can post the other ones soon; if you guys are interested, let me know! Disclaimer: These photos are unedited. If you want to see the edited versions, I'll eventually get around to posting most of them on my Instagram. First, I started at the parking lot at the upper end of Edgewater Park. I really love this view from this parking lot! Also, I learned after I got home that apparently there's a trail to a little pebble beach to the west of this parking lot, so I'll have to check that out next time. Next, I walked up the hill to Edgewater Drive. I'm a huge fan of Cleveland architecture and think so many neighborhoods in the city look beautiful. But Edgewater may just be the prettiest neighborhood in Cleveland! When I first drove through this area last year, I was amazed by how beautiful it was. The neighborhood of Edgewater is much larger, but this section consists of the few blocks between Clifton and Lake Erie, and Edgewater Park and Lakewood's Gold Coast. The neighborhood mostly consists of early 1900s mansions set along beautiful tree-lined streets. Now, there's a mixture of newer houses as well, most of which are pretty huge. You can definitely tell this was an extremely wealthy neighborhood. The size of these trees is insane: This is the view of Downtown from Cliff Drive: Back to Edgewater Drive: Now onto Lake Avenue. Lake has a mixture of large mansions as well as historic apartment buildings. I love these types of apartment buildings and they're one of my favorite parts of Cleveland's architecture: And now for a couple pictures of the view from this part of Edgewater Park... and of this squirrel I can across 😁 I hope you guys enjoyed! If you want to see Part 2 (and maybe 3) of Hingetown, parts of Tremont, etc, let me know! Edited December 6, 20204 yr by Dblcut3
December 6, 20204 yr Quote Also, I learned after I got home that apparently there's a trail to a little pebble beach to the west of this parking lot, so I'll have to check that out next time. Great photo set, thank you! So many nice homes in Edgewater. That little pebble beach to the west of that parking lot is Perkins Beach. Hard to find a photo of it anywhere; I found only one and its just part of the beach--and you can see Edgewater Beach in the distance to the right: https://www.centerforcleveland.org/donate Edited December 6, 20204 yr by Pugu

I found it a while ago on Realtor and it's what prompted me to go visit the neighborhood and take pictures! I drove past the house and I was gonna take pictures of it, but there were people out front so I decided not to. But the house looks even more beautiful in person, and those views it has are amazing!
December 7, 20204 yr You also missed this house on Edgewater, which was featured in the (barely watchable) Bruce Willis movie "Acts of Violence" filmed largely in Cleveland. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/10001-Edgewater-Dr-Cleveland-OH-44102/33325827_zpid/
