Rentals - Apartments and Townhouses

Even though our region is known for its affordable housing, renting is still a great option. Both the city centers and suburbs offer ample apartment and townhouse opportunities. The right spot exists for everyone.

Some Background Information

Many of Downtown Cleveland's 20,000 plus residents live in rentals. They enjoy the density, pedestrian lifestyle, proximity to major city attractions, and beautiful Lake Erie. And Akron is seeing a rental boom in its Northside District.

Rentals are not just found in the urban neighborhoods of Greater Cleveland/Akron. Most suburbs offer a variety of rental options. If you need a furnished rental, there are options for short term leases - giving you the chance to settle into your new job while your family is in transit to your new hometown.

The information below should help you get started on your path to the right rental. If you already have a realtor helping you search for a home, do not hesitate to ask them for assistance with temporary housing options as well.
