Cleveland is one chameleon of a city when it comes to urbanity. Historically, the bread 'n butter housing is wood-frame single family. However, there are many older WWI-1920s era areas with Cleveland doubles where there is either a single or double entrances, and renters/owners have the entire floor (Chicago would call these 2-flats, some cities may say "duplex, but in Cleveland they're called 2-families, or Cleveland doubles). Examples:



But there are some very urban districts mixed in with singles or doubles. Here are some neighborhoods:

First, Downtown:

Kudos to the OP for a different take. For once we have a thread where posters just can't yap about how great their cities are, they must show it. Also I'm glad one smart OP decided to focus on the "other" cities and not the usual suspects for a change ... Good stuff.

A couple more from downtown Cleveland:

True, but it's fairly easy to find street scenes that make any city look good. No one is going to post ugly street views...they will post the best they can find.

I selected over a dozen streetsscapes throughout the city for my contribution, just as others have done. Must we really complain about everything? I suppose this is the Internet.

Ok honestly Miami's urbanity is starting to become severely overrated.

Not bad. I'd actually invert Chicago/Philly and Atlanta/Richmond in your ranking.

...I readily admit a bias regarding Chi-town though
