I am a 24 year old male and will be starting a job on 9th St. next month.  I would like to find a reasonably-priced apartment downtown so that I can walk to work. I would appreciate any help and advice.  Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, and welcome to Cleveland! Will you be working on East or West 9th Street?

 

SLL welcome. :wave:

 

I'm wondering if you read any of the Cleveland specific relocation threads that have been started over the last 6 weeks?

 

Thank god you made it over here from cleveland.com.

 

 

FYI - the DCP is the Downtown Cleveland Partnership which is NOW KNOWN as the downtown Cleveland alliance [ www.downtownclevelandalliance.com ]

What would you consider a reasonable price?  Downtown Cleveland is more expensive than most of the region, but nothing compared to many big city downtowns.

E. 9th Street.

Between $500-$800.

I've heard good things about Huron Square and the Osborn Building, both adjacent to East 9th Street (on Huron Road). These are both in the "Gateway" neighborhood (near Jacobs Field/Quicken Loans Arena):

I've also heard good things about the apartments along East 4th Street, which is a little busier of an area. It's still pretty close to anywhere along East 9th Street:

You could also check out the Chesterfield and Reserve Square, which both have units within that price range.  Reserve Square is a little more expensive out of the two, but much nicer.  Chesterfield's reputation is so-so.  You could find some units in the Warehouse District in that range two, try the Crittenden building.  It'd be a bit more of a hike.

 

I live on East 4th, and recommend it.  There is a lot going on here, the management is investing in the units and buildings, so I think things will continue to get better.

Check out the Statler Arms, E12th and Euclid (216-696-6800). There are some reasonably priced apartments here, and it's been shifting to a younger crowd since they've started leasing to more CSU students (which has its pros and cons). I'll even split the referral bonus with you :wink:
