History

Incorporated in 1903, Bratenahl was named after its founder, Charles Bratenahl. It is one of the older residential suburbs of Cleveland along with Shaker Heights, Lakewood, and Cleveland Heights; of these, Bratenahl has the highest per capita wealth. Bratenahl is a small community of fewer than 1,200 population inhabiting approximately 700 households, some of which are stately estates, townhouses, and condominiums on the lakefront. Its famous Lake Shore Boulevard has been featured in many magazines including Better Homes and Gardens.

Bratenahl is home to a once controversial luxury high-rise condominium complex named Bratenahl Place. Though many residents opposed it at the time, in 1967 two large multi-occupancy buildings of brutalist architectural design were built on the lakefront. One of the two structures was originally intended to be a 180-unit rental apartment building, while the other, smaller one was a condominium from its inception. In 1976 however, the larger one also became a condominium.

Bratenahl was the subject of a joint Marshall Project and WEWS investigation that found that the majority of drivers cited for traffic violations by the Bratenahl police were Black. The report found that Bratenahl village had assessed more than $700,000 in fines, court costs, and other revenue since 2020, mostly from Black drivers passing through the village’s jurisdiction.
