Houses for Rent in West Park, Cleveland

West Park is a residential district on Cleveland's far west side that includes the Jefferson and Kamm's Corners areas. Houses here are mostly early-to-mid-1900s single-family homes, and citywide Cleveland rent for a 2-bedroom runs around $1,100 per Zumper's July 2026 report, with West Park's housing stock generally in that range or below.

What is West Park, and where does it sit in Cleveland?

West Park is one of Cleveland's largest west-side residential areas, encompassing the smaller Jefferson and Kamm's Corners planning districts near the city's western border with Fairview Park and North Olmsted. The area developed in the early-to-mid 1900s as streetcar suburbs annexed into the city, which is why the housing stock leans toward brick and frame single-family bungalows and colonials on modest lots.

The district sits close to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport to the south and is bounded by the Rocky River valley (part of Cleveland Metroparks) to the west, giving it a more suburban feel than east-side neighborhoods closer to downtown.

How much does it cost to rent a house in West Park?

West Park doesn't have its own published rent index, so the closest grounded benchmark is citywide Cleveland data. Per Zumper's July 4, 2026 report, the Cleveland median asking rent is $1,250/month overall, with 2-bedroom units around $1,100 and 3-bedroom units around $1,350. RentCafe's July 2, 2026 report on professionally-managed apartments puts the citywide average considerably higher, at $1,564/month for 787 square feet, reflecting a different mix of newer buildings. West Park's older single-family housing stock tends to price closer to the Zumper end of that range.

For comparison, our own portfolio of rental homes across Cleveland runs from about $700 to $1,800 a month, with most homes in the $1,000 range — mostly 2- and 3-bedroom single-family houses, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes.
