Downtown Cleveland is the city's central business district and is undergoing a period of substantial residential growth, bringing with it new options for dining, nightlife, and other attractions. Downtown is bordered by the Cuyahoga River in the west, Lake Erie in the north, and extends east to include Cleveland State University. The southern edge is less well-defined, but most visitors will not have a reason to go south of the baseball stadium. Downtown Cleveland is also home to the tallest building in Ohio, the 947 foot (288m) tall Key Tower.
