April 16, 2018: The EA team took a hard hat tour of Pinecrest, eager to see the residential units (known as 4th & Park), the new shops, amenities and greenspace in this Orange Village mixed-use development near I-271 and Harvard. It’s a great spot for newcomers to Cleveland who want to rent for the first few months or year as kids would be enrolled in the highly-rated public school system of Orange Schools. Plus, Pinecrest’s location provides easy access to the freeways and many Metroparks trails.

The green spaces of Pinecrest will be filled with events including yoga and live music as well as places to sit and enjoy the sunshine.
Aryn Derryberry, Lisa Pocci and Mary Wojtila provided the tour for EA staff.
There are 87 residential apartments connected to an indoor garage by a climate controlled overhead walkway (nice during those Aprils when it continues to snow in CLE!). Rent starts at $1,870, and they have one, two and three-bedroom units available. Every unit has an outdoor balcony. Flexibility of lease terms and the potential for a fully furnished unit make this a great option for short term leases. Many times a recruit will start their new job and commute to see family through the end of the school year or families who have recently relocated to Cleveland will wish to rent before buying. Pinecrest’s three, six and nine-month short term lease options will be a nice fit for some new recruits and their families.
EA’s staff spends at least one day a month on an in-depth learning day we call EA University so we have the latest info to share with all the families we are helping to relocate to NE Ohio. If you think your organization’s talent attraction and retention process could benefit from having a partner like EA to woo out-of-town job candidates and make sure the whole family is educated, acclimated and connected during their first year in town, call us: 216.231.9311.
