Neighborhood Series: Why live in the Flats East Bank?

Once a hotspot for industrialization, the Flats East Bank has transformed into one of Cleveland's trendiest districts with easy access to Lake Erie and riverfront views. With ample entertainment and nightlife as well as a luxury apartment building and an upscale hotel, the Flats East Bank is the epitome of live, work, play. 

Just a short distance from Cleveland's city center, the Flats East Bank is a popular destination for events and festivals, including the annual Tequila Fest Cleveland and Cleveland Scene's Taste of Summer event. During the summer months, the Flats East Bank also hosts Flat Out Fridays on the second Friday of every month. The Summer Concert Series event brings a variety of sweet treats, food vendors, beverages, and other outdoor entertainment.

The East Bank also features an extensive riverfront boardwalk with gorgeous views of both the Cuyahoga river and downtown Cleveland. Only a short walk from the Cleveland Browns' stadium as well as the popular bar and restaurant Warehouse district, East Bank residents are able to enjoy the walkability of downtown Cleveland and all it has to offer. The neighborhood also features an RTA transit stop providing residents with access to most of Cleveland's neighboring suburbs and cities, including Lakewood to the west and University Circle to the east.
