Living in Cincinnati, OH

Cincinnati is a Midwestern city known for its rich history and culture. Specifically, it's located in southern Ohio along the Kentucky border, and the downtown area is situated along the Ohio River. Notably, the city boomed in the mid-19th century as a center for steamboat shipping. During this time, many European immigrants moved to the area, including a very large number of German immigrants. In fact, German culture is still prominent in Cincinnati today, and many local renters are of German descent. To that end, the Over-The-Rhine district is a historic German neighborhood that has become a popular dining and entertainment destination. Cincinnati renters also enjoy a variety of unique local foods, with chili being the most notable. Here, watching sports is a popular pastime among local renters as the city has both NFL and MLB teams. Or, renters who are feeling artsy can check out the city's thriving performing arts scene: The city has several theater companies, as well as an opera and a ballet company.

Renting in Cincinnati, OH

Rent in Cincinnati is much more affordable than many similarly sized cities in the United States, thereby offering renters more bang for their buck in terms of apartments. There are also many unique historic apartments in Cincinnati, some of which date back to the 19th century. Although some neighborhoods are hilly, renters will find that Cincinnati is generally very walkable and easy to navigate on foot. There are also many high-rise and mid-rise apartment buildings, even in the residential neighborhoods outside of downtown. However, there are some neighborhoods with single-family homes for rent, as well. Additionally, the University of Cincinnati is located in the middle of the city, and many apartments nearby cater to student renters.

Shopping in Cincinnati, OH

Cincinnati renters have a variety of local and independent shops to explore, particularly in the downtown area. Namely, the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood is a top shopping destination in the region with unique and stylish boutiques carrying clothing and home goods. While there isn't a traditional indoor mall within Cincinnati city limits, renters can head to the Kenwood Towne Center, which is located in the city's northwest suburbs. Renters also have many grocery options to choose from: Kroger is the largest grocery chain in the area, but many neighborhoods also have local grocers and markets to shop at. Otherwise, Findlay Market is a historic farmers' market located in Over-the-Rhine that's popular among both local renters and visitors.

Transportation in Cincinnati, OH

Driving is one of the most efficient ways for renters to get around Cincinnati as I-71 and I-75 run directly through the city.
