Renting a house in North Collinwood
North Collinwood is Cleveland's lakefront neighborhood on the far northeast side, largely within ZIP code 44110, running along Lake Erie north of St. Clair Avenue. It's best known for the Waterloo Arts District, a stretch of Waterloo Road lined with galleries, music venues, and studios. Housing stock is mostly early-1900s bungalows, Cape Cods, and two-family duplexes on modest lots.
Many of the residential blocks closest to the lake feature small single-family homes originally built for workers at the rail yards and lakefront industry that shaped this part of the city. Farther inland toward Waterloo Road, the mix shifts toward two-family duplexes, several of which sit within walking distance of the arts district's galleries and coffee shops.
