One of Cleveland's newest built-out neighborhoods, the Bellaire Puritas area is located in the southwest corner of the city. The neighborhood is best characterized by the stability of its housing market and high percentage of owner occupied housing. Between 1990 and 2000, housing prices in the area increased 74%. A new housing subdivision built in 2000, with average per unit prices approaching $200,000, quickly sold out primarily to local residents. Demand for upscale housing in a historically blue-collar community indicates the presence of untapped resources for retailers offering quality products.
