Houses for rent near Tri-C (Cuyahoga Community College)

Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) has four campuses spread across Greater Cleveland — Metropolitan Campus near Downtown, Western Campus in Parma, Eastern Campus in Highland Hills, and Westshore Campus near Westlake — so "near Tri-C" depends on which one you attend. Tell us your campus and commute needs and we'll point you to current listings within reach.

Are there houses for rent near Tri-C in Cleveland?

It depends on which Tri-C campus you mean. Cuyahoga Community College operates four separate campuses across the region rather than one central location, so a house that's a short trip to one campus could be a long drive from another. We manage rental homes across Greater Cleveland; the best next step is telling us which campus you attend (or work at) and roughly how far you're willing to commute, so we can point you toward current listings that actually make sense for your schedule.

Tri-C's four campuses and how commutes differ

Because Tri-C's footprint spans the city and several suburbs, "near Tri-C" means something different depending on your campus:

• Metropolitan Campus (Metro): located just southeast of Downtown Cleveland, the closest of the four campuses to the city's core and its Downtown/University Circle neighborhoods
• Western Campus: located in Parma, southwest of Cleveland, closer to the city's west-side and southwest suburbs
• Eastern Campus: located in Highland Hills, southeast of Cleveland near the eastern suburbs
• Westshore Campus: located near Westlake, on the far west side along the Lake Erie corridor

How much does it cost to rent a house near Tri-C?

Across our current Cleveland-area portfolio, rent generally runs from about $700 to $1,800 a month, with most homes landing near $1,000 — a range that fits a lot of student and staff budgets whether you're commuting to Metro, Western, Eastern, or Westshore. Two- and three-bedroom homes are the most common sizes we manage, which also works well for students splitting rent with roommates.

For broader market context, Zumper's report dated July 4, 2026 put Cleveland's median asking rent at $1,250 a month, and noted Cleveland runs about 35.9% below the $1,950 national median — a meaningful affordability edge if you're commuting to any of Tri-C's campuses on a student or staff budget.

Getting to campus without a car

If Metro Campus is your target, its location just southeast of Downtown puts it within reach of Greater Cleveland RTA's rail hub at Tower City, where the Red Line, Blue Line, Green Line, and Waterfront Line all converge, plus an extensive bus network across the city. The other three campuses — Western in Parma, Eastern in Highland Hills, and Westshore near Westlake — sit outside the immediate downtown transit hub, so a car or a longer bus commute typically factors more into the trip.

If your household doesn't have reliable transportation, ask us about listings closer to Downtown or an RTA line before committing to a specific address — commute time matters more for a daily class schedule than it does for most other renters.

Section 8 vouchers for Tri-C students and staff

Every home we manage accepts Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) and is kept HUD-inspection-ready, whether you're a student, staff member, or unrelated to Tri-C entirely. Voucher eligibility itself is set by the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA), not by us, so if you don't already have a voucher, our Cleveland Section 8 guide explains how the local application and waitlist process works.
