Welcome to Cleveland Park
A charming and quaint reprieve from city life filled with lush greenery
A few steps outside of the city, Cleveland park is filled with tree-lined streets and historic homes. Brimming with green space, Cleveland Park is a bucolic neighborhood that allows residents a respite from city life. Over the years, this neighborhood has fostered a tight-knit community and a relaxing, slow-paced lifestyle. Many of the spacious homes are granted extra privacy by way of larger lots and bountiful trees obscuring them from view.
Named for President Grover Cleveland—who built a summer home on Connecticut Avenue—Cleveland Park boasts numerous beautiful historic homes and estates. After the invention of the streetcar, Cleveland Park underwent a significant boom in residential and commercial growth, which has helped pave the way for the neighborhood it is today.
Many homes in the area still exhibit the early 20th-century styles. With home listings on the higher end, many Cleveland Park residents are renters. The neighborhood's median rent is just over $1,800, while the median home value is $743,500.
