Mount Pleasant

Cleveland's Mt Pleasant neighborhood

Mount Pleasant is One of the most residential neighborhoods in Cleveland. With Shaker Heights to the east and downtown only 10 minutes to the west, it is conveniently located for residents and visitors alike.

Neighborhood Gem

In addition to great housing choices and convenient local retail shopping along the Chagrin Road/Kinsman Road corridor, the neighborhood has the largest urban park in the state. Luke Easter Park boasts tennis courts, baseball and football fields, a pool, indoor skating rink, basketball courts and a weight room. This neighborhood gem has 114 acres of family-oriented recreational space available to its residents for year-round enjoyment.

“We discovered a jewel in our backyard. Luke Easter Park is one of our community’s greatest assets,” says Thomas K. Stone, executive director of Mt. Pleasant Now Development Corp.

Stone adds that the community has embraced the idea that the “park is for families.” It’s hard to find a vacant picnic table at the park on weekends. Young and old fill the park with sounds of family enjoyment. It’s about finding ways to stay connected in the technology age, says Stone. “We can’t live in a vacuum. We must look for ways to keep families and neighbors connected.”
