Tremont, Cleveland

Coming back from almost a 10% drop in population in the 90s, Tremont is coming on strong as the destination for Cleveland culture and nightlife. There is construction around almost every corner in Tremont as Cleveland’s 25-35 year olds are lining up to find a place to live in this small neighborhood. This comes as a direct result of the flourishing restaurant and art scenes in this trendy neighborhood, gaining instant national attention when Lolita’s Michael Symon became Iron Chef Michael Symon in 2007.

Tremont’s streets are lined with townhouses new and old. Finding a combination of old Cleveland style and construction with modern updates and designs is common here, but it comes at a price. Tremont is relatively small due to the surrounding river, valley, woods, and highways cutting off expansion in any direction. This is helping stir up demand for quality housing and keeping the local real estate market healthy, even through the housing crisis.

It’s hard to pin down a must-visit here as the whole neighborhood should be walked on a sunny Saturday or Sunday. Stroll in and out of art galleries like Eye Candy, Paul Duda, or Piccadilly’s and eat…anywhere.

There is always something going on in Tremont so it’s a good idea to follow their CDC on Twitter @TremontWest !

The area is an average display of Cleveland's rural display of housing. The people are overall outgoing and full of life. The neighborhood does have occasional troublesome people that come through and steal radios or vandalize your property. Within a reasonable distance there are numerous amounts of places to grab a bite to eat. There is a Farenhiet, Tyfun Thai Bistro, and even a Lolita restaurant all close enough to the neighborhood to take a five minute stroll for a great, well cooked meal. Though the street is full of it's own occasional problems, the neighborhood is mostly up-scale, hard-working people.
