I am looking for insight on renting in Ohio City. What should we look for in a typical unit (square footage, parking, pet policy, w/d, etc...), what is an average rent payment in that neighborhood, and how often do apartments or houses come available? My ideal place would be about 1000 square feet, w/d available, small dogs allowed, a garage (or at least off street parking), safe access to RTA, and $1000/mo. I found a place matching this description on a nice street (and with a BEAUTIFUL kitchen) near Shaker Square... but I have heard many more great things about the Ohio City neighborhood. Should we snatch up the Shaker apartment or wait and see what we can find in Ohio City? Are there other neighborhoods where we might be able to find a good place with those criteria? [Note: I've heard you have to walk the streets and look for signs, but I am still in North Carolina for the next few weeks. In the meantime, I'm relying on craigslist and internet postings. I'm worried if I wait until the first week of August the Shaker apartment will be gone.]
