About Student Housing in University Heights
University Heights, Ohio is a compact, leafy suburb of about 13,000 people just east of Cleveland, built around John Carroll University, the Jesuit school that gives the city its student energy. Known locally as the "City of Beautiful Homes," it's genuinely walkable, with a Walk Score in the mid-80s thanks to its density and the way shops, parks, and campus sit close together. Students cluster near Fairmount Circle and the blocks around JCU, then spill into adjacent Cleveland Heights and Beachwood. The city runs on small-town touches: summer band concerts, a community pool, and block parties. You're also minutes from University Circle, Cleveland's museum hub, and the sprawling Cleveland Metroparks, with downtown a quick Red Line ride away.
