“I looked at a number of different communities. Gordon Square seemed to be the one with the most things going on. I like Cleveland’s neighborhoods more than the suburbs. We have a great city.”
- Niki Gillota,
owner of Gypsy Beans and Baking Co.,
on deciding where to locate her business
“I made the decision to open an Irish pub here even before the arts district concept really started to pick up steam. The architecture, the proximity to the lake, the history make this neighborhood different than any other in Cleveland.”
- Pete Leneghan, Stone Mad Pub and Restaurant
Northeast Ohio’s newest success story, Cleveland’s Detroit Shoreway neighborhood is jumpstarting the local economy by building on its assets and strategically investing in the development of new ones.Northeast Ohio’s newest success story, Cleveland’s Detroit Shoreway neighborhood is jumpstarting the local economy by building on its assets and strategically investing in the development of new ones.
Just minutes from the lakefront, the community-based Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization (DSCDO) has taken a holistic and aggressive approach to neighborhood revitalization, building in part on the neighborhood’s proximity to both the lakefront and downtown Cleveland.
The neighborhood has been on the rebound since the early 1990s and in just the past two years, 700 housing units have been built, are under construction or have been approved for construction. Since 2004, more housing has been built or rehabilitated in Detroit Shoreway than in any other Cleveland neighborhood.
Now, DSCDO has partnered with Cleveland Public Theatre and Near West Theatre on an ambitious and strategic plan to remake a portion of Detroit Avenue into an arts district that will rival the Cedar-Lee neighborhood in Cleveland Heights and drive more growth on the West Side.
