Live in the heart of a cultural hub. From newly constructed townhomes to charming single-family homes to luxury hotels, living in University Circle has never been more appealing.
With strong anchor institutions and an abundance of arts & cultural as well as private sector businesses, University Circle is one of the largest employment drivers in the state of Ohio.
There is nowhere else in Cleveland with the density of world-class educational resources as University Circle. Preschools, grade schools, high schools, and prestigious universities call this neighborhood home.

Follow along to see when the beautiful cherry blossoms, magnolias, tulips, and other spring blooms along Wade Lagoon, Severance Music Center, Cleveland Botanical Garden, and throughout The Circle will be fully bloomed.
“Peak bloom” occurs when at least 70% of the blossoms are open. Once open, flowers last from 4-10 days, depending on the weather conditions. Cool, calm weather can extend the bloom period, while warm, unsettled weather can shorten it. The magnolias are even more sensitive to the weather so plan your visit accordingly.
Read this blog post about our favorite places to view the blooms in and around the Circle and follow us on Instagram for up-to-date videos of the spring blooms!
2025 Expected Peak Bloom: Early April
This is just our best guess based on how the blooms are progressing. For more information on the blooming period, visit the National Park Service website.
April 24 - Mostly Past Peak
There's a few trees hanging on with their pink and white petals, but most of the trees have now turned brown/green.
