146 Apartments for Rent with Parking

Norwood is located about 5 miles northeast of downtown Cincinnati. The city itself is totally surrounded by outlying Cincinnati neighborhoods and suburbs. During the middle of the 20th century, Norwood’s location amongst several major highways made it an ideal spot for manufacturing and industry. Like many Ohio cities, industry pulled out during the latter half of the century, and since then, Norwood residents have been making steps to revitalize its declining city.

When you look at Norwood’s crime rates, you’re going to be a little freaked out. The city has a property crime rate that’s nearly double the state average. However, when you begin checking out apartment rentals, you can stay relatively safe and take advantage of the city’s numerous cheap apartments by sticking to specific areas.

The best place to start your apartment hunt is in the southeastern portion of Norwood. This location is great because it’s just across the highway from the upscale Cincinnati neighborhood known as Hyde Park. This will also put you in close proximity to Rockwood Commons and Pavilion, your area’s premier shopping destination, where you can find plenty of great shops, as well as dining and entertainment establishments. Though development around Rockwood Commons has stalled out a bit, you can still find apartment rentals in small complexes and divided private homes that offer everything from studio apartments to two bedrooms. Two bedrooms generally range from $450 to $600.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for in southeast Norwood, direct your search to the northeast around Fenwick Park and Losantiville Country Club. Here, a few new developments offer townhomes and apartments for rent with great on-site amenities. Additionally, you can find charming, old rental homes along the quiet, tree lined streets of the northeast section of town. Two bedrooms here generally range from $500 to $700.

Norwood’s western border is located along Xavier University, a private Jesuit college with about 6,000 students. Adjacent to the eastern edge of the scenic campus you’ll find a quiet, safe neighborhood that offers great rentals at a decent price. If you’re looking for short-term lease options, check in this region of Norwood, as occasional students tend to settle here. Two bedrooms in this region generally range from $400 to $600.

If you’re relocating to Norwood with a four-legged friend, you’re in luck! Many of the city’s apartment rentals are both cat and dog friendly. Some landlords and management companies may require an additional deposit or have breed restrictions, but overall you’ll find a lot of welcoming, pet friendly places.

Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Norwood apartments offer parking options, either outside in a common area or within a private garage.

Ask about the stipulations around the parking. Those may include how many guests are allowed and where tenants park.

Some apartments may only allow parking in front of your own unit. Guest parking may be in a common area for up to one person.

If parking is scarce, look around the area before you sign a lease. Ample street parking in a neighborhood championed for its safety is probably fine. However, it’s probably not worth signing a lease if it means battling for daily parking for you and your guests.

Research whether you need a city permit to park in the neighborhood. Look into the associated costs and what to do about visitors who need parking.

Some tenants prefer garage parking near their units. However, an open-air lot may prove cheaper.

Keep in mind that the cost of wear and tear from parking outside can add up. It may be less expensive, in the long run, to look for an apartment with garage parking.
