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!

Parking can be at a premium in some cities where spaces are challenging to find. Some Sylvania 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.
