3-bedroom houses near University Circle

University Circle is one of Cleveland's East Side neighborhoods, built around a cluster of major institutions: Case Western Reserve University, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Severance Music Center, and the Cleveland Clinic's main campus sits just to the south. The area itself is dominated by these institutions rather than large stretches of rental housing stock.

We don't currently manage listings inside University Circle itself, but we do manage voucher-friendly 3-bedroom rental homes in the directly adjoining East Side neighborhoods of Hough and Glenville — both within a short distance of University Circle's institutions. If a 3-bedroom house near this area is what you need, tell our team what you're looking for and we'll match you with current availability nearby.

How much does a 3-bedroom house rent for near here?

Citywide, Zumper's rent report dated July 4, 2026 puts Cleveland's median 3-bedroom asking rent at $1,350 a month. RentCafe (Yardi), reporting July 2, 2026, shows a much higher $2,716 average for 3-bedroom units — but that figure reflects larger professionally managed apartment buildings near University Circle's institutional core, not the smaller houses found in the surrounding residential streets.

In nearby Hough and Glenville, where we do manage rental homes, currently available 3-bedroom houses across our Cleveland portfolio generally run $1,100 to $1,500 a month, tracking closer to the Zumper citywide median than the large-apartment RentCafe figure.

Voucher-friendly 3-bedroom homes near University Circle

Every rental home we manage in Hough and Glenville — the neighborhoods bordering University Circle — accepts Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) and is HUD-inspection-ready. Ohio has no statewide source-of-income protection law, and Cleveland has not adopted a citywide ordinance requiring landlords to accept vouchers, so it's worth confirming a specific landlord's policy if you're looking outside what we manage. See our Hough houses for rent, Glenville houses for rent, or our Cleveland Section 8 guide for more detail.
