    What it’s like to live in West Price Hill

    Affordable living thrives in this hillside enclave with panoramic views of the Ohio River. Renters enjoy Rapid Run Park's disc golf course but note limited public transit—only 18% of units are within 0.5 miles of bus stops. Original 1950s windows cause high heating bills.

    What it’s like to live in Evanston

    Evanston combines historic architecture with affordability just north of Xavier University. Rental homes include a mix of traditional Cincinnati housing styles from Victorian to Craftsman at more accessible rates than nearby Norwood or Hyde Park. The neighborhood provides excellent access to both interstate connections and the developing Montgomery Road commercial corridor, creating an ideal environment for university employees and students seeking alternatives to campus housing.

Renting Apartments in Cincinnati, Ohio

Cincinnati, Ohio is known for its craft beer scene and interesting history. In the mid-1800s, a large population of Germans moved to town, bringing lager and pilsner recipes to share with their new neighbors. Their beer culture is still celebrated annually at Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, the largest Oktoberfest in the U.S. And this German heritage has affected more than brewing habits. Cincinnati’s background contributes to its unique architecture and historic districts, like Over-the-Rhine, which has well-preserved 19th-century buildings.

Today, residents can enjoy the city’s vibrant cultural scene by visiting the symphony, ballet, and opera. Sports fans sip local brews while joining legendary tailgate parties and rooting for the Bengals or Reds. And no outing is complete without a bowl of Cincinnati chili from Skyline.

Another great perk to Cincinnati is the cost of living, which is significantly below the national average. But read on and you’ll be ready for an astute apartment search and maybe a big bowl of famous Cincinnati chili, too.
