Renovated Studio and 1 Bedroom Apartments on Cleveland Ave (43224)

A plain look at what "renovated" really means at Cleve Royale on Cleveland Avenue, the finishes you get, what is included, and how fast you can move in near the CMAX line in 43224.

Cleve Royale has renovated studio and 1 bedroom apartments at 3607 Cleveland Avenue in Northeast Columbus, with studios from $800/month and 1 beds from $850/month. Expect fresh flooring, an updated bath, air conditioning, and a shared laundry room, plus a move-in in about 48 to 72 hours once you are approved.

Plenty of listings toss around the word "renovated" without saying much. So here is the honest version at Cleve Royale in 43224: apartments that were actually redone and are ready for you to move in, priced so a solo renter, a student, or a downtown commuter can still make the math work. Below is what the unit looks like and what your rent covers.

What we mean by renovated

Every apartment gets a real refresh, not a quick touch-up. That means new flooring, an updated bathroom with clean fixtures and tile, and a bright vanity, along with a comfortable living space and useful closet room. The idea is a tidy, current home that feels ready the day you get your keys, rather than an old unit hiding behind fresh paint.

Each apartment arrives with a refrigerator, an oven, and air conditioning, and it is cable and high-speed internet ready so you can get online right away. Laundry lives in a shared on-site laundry room at the building, so there is no in-unit washer or dryer, but wash day stays a short walk away. Trash is included with your rent, while electric, water and sewer, and internet or cable are up to the resident.

Studio and 1 bedroom pricing

Renovated studios start at $800/month and 1 bedrooms at $850/month, which lands well under what a comparable updated apartment runs closer to Downtown or out by Easton and Polaris. If you want a larger place for a family or a shared house, ask about the nearby 4 bedroom, 2 bath house at $1,300/month. For a renovated apartment in Northeast Columbus, these are some of the lowest rents on the block.

After your application is approved, your deposit is in, and the lease is signed, you can usually move in within about 48 to 72 hours. When you have a start date to hit or a lease ending soon, that short turnaround beats sitting on a long waitlist somewhere else.

On the Cleveland Ave transit corridor

The best part of living here is how easy it is to get around without a car. The CMAX bus rapid transit line runs right along Cleveland Avenue with frequent, fast service straight into Downtown Columbus, which makes commuting and campus trips to Columbus State and Ohio State (OSU) simple. You are also only about five minutes from Easton Town Center and roughly 16 minutes from John Glenn Columbus International Airport.

Quick tip: on your tour, ask what the rent covers and double check your move-in date. At Cleve Royale the answers are simple, trash included, on-site laundry, the CMAX line at your doorstep, and a move-in in roughly 48 to 72 hours for approved applicants.
