Home values and rent in East Cleveland
We don't have a East Cleveland-specific median home value. Countywide, Cuyahoga County's figure is $195,400 (ACS 2020-2024 5yr) — treat this as a county-level baseline, not a East Cleveland number. On rent, we're again working from the county: Cuyahoga County's median gross rent is $1,060/mo (ACS 2020-2024 5yr), not a East Cleveland-specific figure.
03
The county tax-drag math applies here
Cuyahoga County's 1.80% effective tax rate applies to property in East Cleveland — above the 1.36% statewide average. The full worked PITIA and DSCR example, built on a property at the county's median value, is on the Cuyahoga County page — here's the tax line specifically for a property at East Cleveland's own numbers:
- Property value used
- $195,400 (countywide)
- Cuyahoga County effective tax rate
- 1.80%
- Estimated monthly property tax
- $293
That estimate uses an observed Ohio DSCR average of 7.20% (Q2 2026)¹ elsewhere in the full county example — this is a market observation, not an offer; your rate depends on your DSCR, credit, LTV and loan purpose, and is set by the lender, not by us.
