Posted February 19, 200817 yr Does anyone know anything about these in Ohio City on Detroit and W 26? Thanks!
February 19, 200817 yr Are these the units that the developer of the Detroit-Superior Lofts just rehabbed? There's available retail space on the ground floor?

February 19, 200817 yr They look nice! Comments about the location are that it's great for convenience to Downtown, especially if you're a walker, bicycle commuter or bus rider. You'll be a bit outside the heart of Ohio City or Detroit Shoreway, but still walkable distance to Market Ave or Gordon Square, plus walking distance to Stonebridge and all that's happening there. And the price is pretty reasonable!
February 19, 200817 yr Why is the stove up against the window?? :? You think the tenant is the only one who wants a view?? ;)

February 19, 200817 yr The developer is looking to build a 7-story condo building to the immediate west of these units.
February 19, 200817 yr yes, actually it has a lot of cabinet space in that island. I am telling you some of these apartment kitchens are so tiny. I call them "bachelor" kitchens b/c only a 23 year old single guy who eats takeout pizza every night could put up with them
February 19, 200817 yr yes, actually it has a lot of cabinet space in that island. I am telling you some of these apartment kitchens are so tiny. I call them "bachelor" kitchens b/c only a 23 year old single guy who eats takeout pizza every night could put up them I agree. I call them kitchenettes. I hated the kitchen "area" in my loft apartment in brooklyn. The whole "grand/great room" (kitchen, living room, dining room) thing just makes me sick!
February 19, 200817 yr you have a loft in Brookyln now??? what about the joint in Harlem? No No No. When I first moved to NYC I rent in a loft in Brooklyn. It was an open floor concept thing and I hated it. But the location was great. Without totally "MTS-ing" the unit, I zjuzzed it up and all and I tried my best to deal with it for almost three years. But I never got comfortable with every "room" visible, except for the two bedrooms, from any vantage point in the apartment just didn't sit well with me. I'm an old school prewar building kinda boy! I left the apartment, when I boght the brownstone.
February 19, 200817 yr thats a pretty big kitchen for an apartment You think so?? ?? ?? It looks big to me. This is my apartment!
February 20, 200817 yr Yes, for a one-bedroom in Cleveland, that's a large (and for $550, nicely appointed) kitchen. The largest kitchen I had as a renter was 12x12 in Tremont, followed by a 10x10 on Lake Avenue - friends who lived on Lake were jealous; some of them had enough counter space for their microwave - if they wanted to actually use the counter, they had to put the microwave on the floor! clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
February 20, 200817 yr I've only rented in the shaker square area, but is a small kitchen common on the westside? Most of the apartments in the shaker square area, that I've been to have big kitchens. My cousin lived on N. Moreland (two different apartments) and both of his kitchens were large, one fit a regular kitchen table. These were both one bedrooms.
February 20, 200817 yr Of the apartments I saw on Lake Avenue (mostly one-bedrooms), it was either a galley kitchen or the "broom closet" like I described. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
February 20, 200817 yr wow man. I can't believe that is all the space you get. I'm not a big cook as the Kitchen is the room I use the least in my cribs. There must be some other trade off.
February 20, 200817 yr It's called $425-$450 a month with paid heat and water, and the average electric bill is $10 a month. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
February 20, 200817 yr It's called $425-$450 a month with paid heat and water, and the average electric bill is $10 a month. man that's cheap.
February 20, 200817 yr I live in a Lakewood condo and I have a galley kitchen -- it's smaller than the one pictured above for the Painter's Union. Mine has a fair amount of cabinet space, but you can't have more than two or three people maneuvering in it at the same time.

February 20, 200817 yr It depends. I have lived in a lot of different apartments, all on the W side and the kitchen is usually fairly small. The kitchen pictured is definitely big by apartment standards, I would say. Usually instead of an island and open space, the other side would be a wall (which may or may not have cabinets, or possibly a little pantry/closet) where the island is, and that seems more like an average apt-sized kitchen for most of the places I've rented.
February 20, 200817 yr I haven't rented an apartment in Cleveland in over 20 years, I guess I'm really out of touch with the rental market.
February 20, 200817 yr Are these the units that the developer of the Detroit-Superior Lofts just rehabbed? There's available retail space on the ground floor? yes, they are the same. there are 8 units in the building, with one rented so far. they are pretty nice, i was just wondering about the area since it is a little farther out from the center of ohio city. Here is a link to pictures that my bf took: http://www.fabiens.org/gallery/v/jeff/Apartments/Detroit/ Also, it has electric baseboard heat with the controls on each baseboard. what do you all think of that? thanks for the info.
February 20, 200817 yr Why is the stove up against the window?? :? it's not right against the window, there is a radiator with a box over it by the window and probably about 2 feet between that and the stove.
February 20, 200817 yr Why is the stove up against the window?? :? it's not right against the window, there is a radiator with a box over it by the window and probably about 2 feet between that and the stove. thanks but it doesn't appear to be functional work flow. I would have planned/designed from the window going right. counter - sink - counter - stove - counter - fridge Oh well...I don't have to live there.
February 20, 200817 yr I would trade my whole apartment for just that kitchen in a heartbeat. I would sleep on the kitchen floor if I had to.
February 20, 200817 yr Also, it has electric baseboard heat with the controls on each baseboard. what do you all think of that? do the radiators not work? the electric baseboards can be a good solution where it is particularly cold or no other heat options exist. i would imagine that trying to heat the entire unit on electric baseboards could get expensive though.

February 21, 200817 yr I am not completely thrilled with the location from a walkers perspective the w.25th-w.28th detroit has some crime issues (mostly auto theft and later night robberies and asssults). I do walk around there...but it can get seedy at times. So much so that a I get a big WTF look sometimes (the best: getting off the bus at midnight with a suitcase lol) If you have a bike or something you could probably out run people. If you are coming in and out in a car, I think it is fine.
February 21, 200817 yr While this end of W. 25th is not what I'd call a "pleasant" place to walk, there are alternatives. I'd take the quiter route from Detroit, along W. 28th, through Franklin Circle and along W. 28th to Bridge or Carroll or wherever your destination is.
