Founded in 1836, Sylvania is an old city with just under 6 square miles of quaint, small-town living. Families, college students, and retirees alike feel at home here, because as far as hometowns go, this one has a lot going for it. Convenience, affordability, nearby wilderness, nice golf courses, and just a 10-mile drive to Toledo make this place a great, laid back place for weary renters to settle down. And, you just can't beat the price. Rentals range from $400 to about $1,600, depending on the size and type of rental. There are cheap apartments, lofts, townhouses, split level houses, and rental homes. You can choose from the more cultural college-side neighborhoods, suburban golf course neighborhoods, or one of the more convenient areas within walking distance to nearby shopping centers and eateries. Those with kids will be happy to know that the boy scouts and girl scouts are huge around here, with Camp Miakonda providing some amazing adventures for the scouts and the public at large. Those with competitive kids can also find joy in a park full of lacrosse, soccer, and baseball fields, a well as a Rec. department which provides two ice skating rinks and two indoor soccer fields.

So, as you can see, it's all wonderful family-oriented living with lots of local activities to keep the kids busy and the soccer moms happy.

In local apartment communities, amenities are usually more for convenience than luxury. A laundry facility or in-unit washer and dryer is common. Parking is never hard to find. And, with on-site maintenance, lawn care, and snow removal, you can live life with a little less worry.

If you're looking for a pet friendly apartment rental, then be prepared for some legwork. While cat friendly apartments are pretty easy to come by, dog friendly rentals will be a challenge. To find yourself a home with dogs allowed, scour through local classifieds, drive around in search of FOR RENT signs, and chat up your neighbors until research or word-of-mouth allows you to come across a landlord that loves dogs as much as you.

That's about all the advice you'll need on renting in Sylvania. Best of luck on the home hunt!

Sylvania apartments with garages are sometimes more expensive than other options. However, they may make more financial sense in the long run.

Weather, break-ins, and daily struggles to find a space can take a toll financially and physically. Remember that even cities in mild climates experience issues like salt air, tornadoes, hail, falling branches from storms, and other issues.

It’s also possible to score an auto insurance reduction if you park in a garage. Ask your insurance provider about any deals or discounts that could trim money off the cost of your monthly bill.

Before signing a lease, ask the landlord or property manager about any restrictions on garage use. It’s important to know if there are enough spaces for tenants and visitors and what happens if the garage is full. If you’re moving into an apartment inside a home, ask about any conditions on its use and if storage is allowed.
