Many Cleveland Heights streets carry the names of their individual tracts. Some streets, in fact, form entire tracts in themselves—e.g., Hyde Park Avenue, of the Hyde Park subdivision; Compton Road forming Compton Heights; and Oakwood Drive, forming the Oakwood Club tract. Parkhill Road is most of the Parkhill tract.

Many residential tracts of the 1920s were given “Park” in their names to those seeking a sylvan setting. Hence, we have Brunswick Park, which includes Brunswick Road; Ravine Park which includes Ravine Drive; Severn Park, which includes Severn Road (with the name of an abbreviated form of Severance); and Oakridge Park, which includes the circle of Oakridge Drive. Summit Park Road is within the Summit Park subdivision, while Minor Park Avenue (or Drive) is really a cut-through within the Minor Heights tract.

Cleveland Heights Boulevard is the featured street within the Cleveland Heights Boulevard tract. Our historic Euclid Heights development was graced with Euclid (later Euclid Heights) Boulevard, cutting it into two similarly sized segments. Likewise, the extensive Forest Hill tract, developed by the Rockefeller family, includes picturesque Forest Hills (note the “s”) Boulevard running through its center.

Finally, part of the Oak Hill tract goes into East Cleveland, and Cedarbrook Road, with one of Cleveland Heights’ most tranquil street names, is among the streets forming the Cedarbrook tract—which crosses into University Heights.
