Welcome to The Avenue District, Cleveland's exciting new downtown neighborhood. Nowhere else in Cleveland does the excitement of the city come together in such spectacular fashion. The Avenue District is defined by East 9 th Street to the west, E. 17 th Street to the east, Playhouse Square to the South, and Lake Erie to the north. This is a vibrant, living community of people, shops, and places of entertainment. Located just east of the heart of Cleveland's financial district, a resident of The Avenue District is never more than a few steps from parks, shopping, dining, and cultural life.
First and foremost, the neighborhood is full of people. Just down 12 th Street, over 3,000 residential units are already in this exciting district, taking advantage of the close proximity to entertainment, office, recreation, and more. A resident of The Avenue District only needs to walk 5 minutes- just ¼ mile from their front door- to experience a remarkable array of neighborhood amenities. Everything from great dining at One Walnut Restaurant or Café Sausalito to shopping at the Galleria is within a stones throw of this unique address. Head south to Playhouse Square, or wander around in the college atmosphere of Cleveland State University to the east. Looking for some open space? The historic public mall, designed by famed architect Daniel Burnham provides a wonderful place in the summertime for movies and outdoor events. Or, head north to the lakefront to visit the Rock Hall, Science Center, Cleveland Browns Stadium or stay close to home and picnic on The Avenue District's green rooftop park.
