How much does a 3-bedroom house cost in Hough?

Three-bedroom homes in Hough generally rent from about $1,050 to $1,400 a month, depending on condition, size, and proximity to Euclid Avenue. That range sits close to Zumper's July 4, 2026 citywide 3-bedroom median of $1,350/month — a much tighter gap than RentCafe's July 2, 2026 figure of $2,716 for a 3-bedroom, which reflects larger, professionally-managed apartment buildings rather than the smaller single-family homes and duplexes typical of Hough.

What a 3-bedroom home in Hough looks like

Most three-bedroom rentals in Hough are single-family houses or the larger unit of a two-family duplex, built in the early-to-mid 1900s with front porches and modest side yards. Bedrooms are typically arranged on a single upper floor, with a full basement below often used for laundry and storage. Because the housing stock predates modern construction, layouts vary more than in newer buildings, so a showing is the most reliable way to confirm room sizes and closet space before applying.

Getting around from a 3-bedroom home in Hough

Hough runs along the Euclid Avenue HealthLine, GCRTA's bus rapid transit route linking Public Square downtown to University Circle and East Cleveland through a dedicated center-median busway. The Red Line's University Circle station is also within reach near the neighborhood's southern edge, putting Cleveland Clinic, Case Western Reserve University, and the Cleveland Museum of Art a short transit ride away. Rockefeller Park and its Cultural Gardens line the neighborhood's southern boundary along Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, offering nearby green space.

Section 8 vouchers for 3-bedroom homes in Hough

Every three-bedroom home Rent Finder Cleveland manages in Hough accepts Housing Choice Vouchers and is HUD-inspection-ready. The Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) sets a separate payment standard for each bedroom size, so the maximum subsidy for a 3-bedroom voucher differs from a 2-bedroom; check CMHA's current chart directly at cmha.net rather than relying on a fixed number, since payment standards are updated periodically.

Lease details worth checking on an older 3-bedroom in Hough

Because most of Hough's three-bedroom housing dates to the early 1900s, it falls under Cleveland's Codified Ordinances Chapter 365, which requires a Lead-Safe Certification for any residential rental unit built before January 1, 1978. The certification is good for two years and follows a visual and dust-wipe inspection by a certified risk assessor, so it's worth asking to see a current certificate before you sign for a three-bedroom home in the neighborhood.

It's also worth confirming which utility serves the specific address before move-in: electric service in Hough comes from either Cleveland Public Power or The Illuminating Company depending on location, and gas is typically supplied by Enbridge Gas Ohio. A larger three-bedroom home generally carries higher utility costs than a smaller unit, so factoring that into your monthly budget alongside rent is worthwhile.
