Bratenahl, Ohio
Bratenahl (/ˈbrætənɑːl/ BRAT-ən-ahl) is a village in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, United States, on the southern shore of Lake Erie. One of Cleveland's oldest streetcar suburbs, it is bordered by the city on three sides and by the Lake Erie shoreline to the north. The population was 1,430 at the 2020 census.
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.
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.
Bratenahl is located at 41°33′15″N 81°36′16″W / 41.55417°N 81.60444°W (41.554275, −81.604574).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.60 square miles (4.14 km2), of which 1.02 square miles (2.64 km2) is land and 0.58 square miles (1.50 km2) is water.
As of the census of 2010, there were 1,197 people, 679 households, and 333 families living in the village. The population density was 1,173.5 inhabitants per square mile (453.1/km2).
