1-bedroom apartments in Ohio City

Ohio City sits on Cleveland's near-west side in ZIP code 44113, directly across the Cuyahoga River from downtown. The neighborhood is anchored by the historic West Side Market and served directly by GCRTA's Red Line at the Ohio City station. A large share of the housing stock is late-1800s Victorian houses and rowhouses that have been divided into multi-unit buildings over the decades, and 1-bedroom units are among the most common configurations that come out of those conversions, alongside a smaller number of purpose-built apartment buildings closer to the market district.

A 1-bedroom in Ohio City gives a renter a separate bedroom and living space without the size — or price — of a full two-bedroom unit, which is one reason the configuration is in steady demand this close to downtown.

How much does a 1-bedroom apartment cost in Ohio City?

Per Zumper's July 4, 2026 report, Cleveland's citywide median 1-bedroom rent is $1,195/month. RentCafe (Yardi)'s July 2, 2026 report, which tracks larger professionally managed apartment buildings averaging about 690 square feet for a 1-bedroom, shows a higher citywide average of $1,451/month. Ohio City's proximity to downtown, the West Side Market, and the Red Line tends to put its 1-bedroom pricing at or above these citywide benchmarks, especially in newer construction, while conversions in older rowhouses can come in closer to the citywide median.

Section 8 vouchers for a 1-bedroom in Ohio City

The Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) runs the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program countywide, including Ohio City, through a year-round preliminary application with mini-lottery selection. Acceptance of a voucher for any specific Ohio City apartment still comes down to the individual landlord, since Ohio has no statewide source-of-income law and Cleveland has not enacted a local ordinance requiring landlords to accept vouchers. Every rental home we manage in and around Ohio City accepts Section 8 vouchers and is HUD-inspection-ready — see our Cleveland Section 8 guide for how the CMHA process generally works.
