Two miles west of Downtown Cleveland is a land flowing with beer and donuts—a neighborhood block with attractions on every corner and majestic views of Lake Erie. The Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood is an old community finding new life and taking advantage of its most remarkable attribute: its location.
The Port of Cleveland opened the commercial floodgates for manufacturing companies in the 19th century. Immigrants from Italy, Germany and Romania poured into the neighborhood for work. Due to overcrowded housing, residents moved to the suburbs, making way for Hispanic immigrants. Detroit-Shoreway remains to this day a culturally and economically diverse neighborhood.
This premier community is a guiding light for Cleveland, proving that revitalization is possible. Refurbished brick-and-mortar buildings give the Shoreway neighborhood character and warmth, attracting residents and visitors of all ages and backgrounds. There’s no denying the vibrant energy eminating from residents and business owners. It would take several days to experience everything the neighborhood has to offer. From theater to food, beaches and boutiques, visitors will return time and again.
