Rockefeller Homes

For many years, the City of East Cleveland has experienced a steady loss of population, property values, and household income. Today, the city finds itself in a fiscal emergency. It’s a far cry from when East Cleveland was once a prosperous suburb and part of Cleveland’s famed Millionaire’s Row, with luxury homes extending well within its borders. It’s also where an experiment of sorts took place - a planned community, with a big name attached to it, built modern-day homes for buyers looking for a better life.
