Renting a house in Buckeye

Cleveland's Buckeye neighborhood — officially the Buckeye-Woodhill Statistical Planning Area in the city's own planning framework — sits on the east side centered around Woodhill Road and Woodland Hills Park, directly north of Shaker Square. The area's housing stock is a mix of early-to-mid-20th-century single-family homes and duplexes, many with front porches and small side yards, on tree-lined residential streets running off Woodhill Road and Woodland Avenue.

Rent Finder Cleveland manages voucher-friendly rental homes throughout this part of Cleveland's east side. Every home we manage accepts Section 8 / Housing Choice Vouchers and is HUD-inspection-ready. Book a free showing to see what's currently available, or tell our team what you're looking for.

How much does it cost to rent in Buckeye?

Rents in the Buckeye area generally track Cleveland's more affordable east-side neighborhoods rather than the higher-priced professionally-managed buildings closer to University Circle. Two-bedroom homes typically run from the mid-$700s to around $1,000 a month, and three-bedroom homes from about $1,000 to $1,300. For context, Zumper's July 4, 2026 report put the Cleveland-wide 2-bedroom median at $1,100/month and the 3-bedroom median at $1,350/month — Buckeye rentals generally sit at or below those citywide figures, reflecting the neighborhood's older, smaller-scale housing stock.

Getting around from Buckeye

Woodland Avenue and Woodhill Road carry regular GCRTA bus routes, and I-77 is a short drive away for trips downtown or toward the southern suburbs. Woodland Hills Park gives the neighborhood direct access to green space and walking paths.

Section 8 and vouchers in Buckeye

Buckeye is one of the east-side Cleveland neighborhoods where Rent Finder Cleveland concentrates its voucher-friendly rental homes. Every property we manage accepts Housing Choice Vouchers and is HUD-inspection-ready. A voucher itself comes from the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA), which accepts preliminary applications year-round through its online portal; selection then runs through periodic lottery draws rather than strict first-come, first-served order. Because Ohio has no statewide law requiring landlords to accept vouchers, and Cleveland does not currently have a source-of-income protection ordinance, it's still worth confirming acceptance directly with any owner outside our managed portfolio. Read our full Section 8 housing guide for the details on applying and payment standards.

Comparing Buckeye to nearby neighborhoods

Buckeye's housing stock and price range are similar to nearby east-side neighborhoods like Slavic Village and Hough, both also part of our managed footprint. All three neighborhoods share a similar early-to-mid-20th-century housing stock of single-family homes and duplexes, so renters weighing Buckeye against a neighboring area are usually comparing commute distance and specific street condition rather than a large difference in home type or price. If you'd like to compare options across the whole city rather than one neighborhood at a time, our houses for rent in Cleveland hub lets you browse by budget, bedroom count, and area, and applying online takes just a few minutes once you've found a home you like.
