How much does it cost to rent a house in Cudell?

Cudell doesn't have its own published rent index, so the closest grounded benchmark is citywide Cleveland data. Per Zumper's July 4, 2026 report, Cleveland's overall median asking rent is $1,250/month, with 2-bedroom units averaging around $1,100 and 3-bedroom units around $1,350. RentCafe's July 2, 2026 report on professionally-managed apartments citywide shows a higher average of $1,564/month for 787 square feet, which reflects a different mix of newer buildings rather than Cudell's older housing stock specifically.

Rent Finder Cleveland's own portfolio across the city runs from about $700 to $1,800 a month, typically around $1,000, and includes single-family houses alongside duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes — 44102 (Cudell and Detroit-Shoreway) is one of the ZIP codes where we currently manage homes.

What kind of housing is available in Cudell?

Housing in Cudell is a mix of early-1900s single-family frame homes and two-family duplexes, typical of Cleveland's near-west-side lakefront neighborhoods. Lot sizes are modest, and many homes have small front porches and basements. Across our own Cleveland portfolio, roughly half of the units are duplexes rather than standalone houses, so renters searching Cudell listings should expect both formats.

Section 8 and voucher-friendly rentals in Cudell

Every home Rent Finder Cleveland manages — including homes in the 44102 area — accepts Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) and is HUD-inspection-ready, so voucher holders can tour and apply with confidence. Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) administers the local voucher program and accepts preliminary applications year-round through its online applicant portal; selection then runs through periodic lotteries rather than strict first-come-first-served order.

One important honest note: Ohio has no statewide law requiring landlords to accept vouchers, and the City of Cleveland does not currently have a source-of-income protection ordinance, so acceptance still depends on the individual landlord. For the full picture on how vouchers work locally, see our Cleveland Section 8 housing guide, or connect with our team about voucher-friendly options in nearby West Boulevard as well.
