Bratenahl (/ˈbrætənɑːl/ BRAT-ən-ahl) is a wealthy village in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States. It is bordered by the city of Cleveland on three sides and by the shoreline of Lake Erie to the north. The population was 1,197 at the 2010 census.[6] Bratenahl is ranked as the 92nd highest-income place in the United States and 6th in the state of Ohio.
Profile
Incorporated in 1905, Bratenahl 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. A significant percentage (10%)[7] of municipal revenue comes from traffic tickets issued by the Bratenahl police on the small stretch of Interstate 90 that runs through the village. 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. Though many residents opposed it at the time, in 1967 two large multi-occupancy buildings of brutalist architectural design were built on the lakefront to create an opportunity for comfortable apartment dwelling in a municipality where previously only free-standing single-family housing existed. 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, and the ultimate success of these two condominium associations heralded a diversification of housing types in Bratenahl Village since that time. Condominium suites in these two structures range in price from $150,000 to over $1.0 million.
Bratenhal's most famous resident was the legendary Gary D. Gilbert (Gary Dee), former shock jock of WHK radio station back in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
