Cotman Vistas

About Cotman Vistas

Cotman Vistas opened in May 2013 and was built to replace our Circle Vistas building in University Circle. Cotman Vistas is a four-story building with 36 units, 14 of which are two-bedrooms. The first floor features a large lobby, community room, and the MaxHousing administrative offices. The building includes a community room, seasonal patio area, accessible planter, and is home to our Accessibility First Demonstration Unit.

Cotman Vistas is part of the University Circle arts and culture district, close to Wade Oval, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Botanical Gardens (watch this video about our neighborhood!). There is also a grocery store, shops, and restaurants nearby.

Building Cotman Vistas

Cotman Vistas was designed to replace our oldest building, Circle Vistas. When we renovated an old furniture warehouse into Circle Vistas in 1984, it was the first apartment community in Northeast Ohio specifically designed to allow people with mobility disabilities to live independently. Over 25 years later, the building and the accessibility features became obsolete.

From the beginning, the tenants of Circle Vistas were excited about and supportive of Cotman Vistas, embracing the opportunity to live in a new, modern, sustainable, green building with outstanding accessibility. Now that they have moved in, the Cotman Vistas tenants are enjoying all their new homes have to offer.
