Renting a house in St. Clair-Superior

St. Clair-Superior sits on Cleveland's near-east side, just north of downtown, in ZIP code 44103, and takes its name from the two parallel avenues — St. Clair Avenue and Superior Avenue — that run through it. The neighborhood is also home to AsiaTown, a business district of restaurants and shops along Payne Avenue. Housing stock is a mix of early-1900s two- and three-family homes, brick duplexes, and smaller single-family houses, many built close to the street on narrow lots typical of Cleveland's older near-east-side blocks.

The neighborhood's proximity to downtown and the Campus District makes it a common option for renters who want a shorter commute without downtown apartment pricing. Many blocks mix owner-occupied homes with rentals, and porches, small front yards, and detached garages are common features on the older housing stock here.
