After visiting the area in 1842, author Charles Dickens remarked that, "Cincinnati is a beautiful city; cheerful, thriving, and animated. I have not often seen a place that commends itself so favorably and pleasantly to a stranger at the first glance as this does."
Known as the Queen City, historic Cincinnati is the third largest city within Ohio and the county seat of Hamilton County. Positioned on the scenic Ohio River opposite Kentucky, the city boasts the largest Metropolitan Statistical Area population density statewide, with 2,214,954 residents at the 2010 census. The city is filled with culinary delights, artistic vision, stunning architecture, and eclectic culture. Sports fans find themselves cheering wildly for the city's two main sports teams: the Cincinnati Reds and the Cincinnati Bengals. Residents and out-of-town visitors alike compete each year in the Flying Pig Marathon, and Labor Day weekend comes alive with an annual fireworks display.
Cincinnati is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including Procter & Gamble, Macy’s, and Kroger - the largest employer in Cincinnati and the top Fortune 500 company in Ohio. Other major companies with headquarters in Cincinnati include Ashland (specialty chemicals), Omnicare (medical supplier), General Cable, and American Financial Group. Education is another driver of the local economy, with the University of Cincinnati employing some 15,862 people.
Cincinnati's rental market offers a strong selection of listings, with an average of 1,877 available per month. The majority of these listings are 1-bedroom apartments, making up 39% of the market, followed closely by 2-bedroom apartments at 35%. Studios and 3-bedroom apartments are less common, accounting for 8% and 11% of the market, respectively. Many Cincinnati apartments cater to pet owners, with 53% of listings allowing pets in some capacity. However, it's worth noting that many of these pet-friendly listings come with restrictions or are limited to small pets. While the city's rental market offers a range of options, these figures are based on historical data, and the current market may vary slightly.
Cincinnati's rental market has experienced a modest year-over-year increase of 0.3% in 2024, bringing the average monthly rent to $1,381.
Breaking down the market by bed count, 1-bedrooms are averaging $1,059 per month, a slight decrease of 0.7% from the previous year. The average rent for a 2-bedroom is around $1,415, also seeing a decrease of 2.4%. In contrast, 3-bedrooms have seen a notable increase of 8.8%, now averaging $1,774 per month. Studios are renting for approximately $1,047, a 2% increase from 2023.
Seasonal trends play a role in Cincinnati's rental market, with October typically seeing the highest rent prices, 6.6% higher than January's average. April and March are the most competitive months, with more overall demand compared to available inventory. Conversely, October and September are relatively less competitive, which may result in fewer listings but potentially lower prices. If you're searching for a new apartment, considering the winter months may yield better deals, but be prepared for a potentially limited selection.
Cincinnati's architecture is a treasure trove of classic American styles, and one style stands out among the rest: the ranch-style home. With nearly half of the city's rentals (48.15% to be exact) falling under this category, it's clear that Cincinnatians love the laid-back, practical charm of ranch homes. This style of architecture originated in the 1920s and 1930s in the Southwest, but gained massive popularity nationwide in the post-war era, prized for its simplicity, comfort, and spaciousness. If you're looking for a rental in Cincinnati, chances are you'll find a beautiful ranch-style home that suits your needs. Architectural style in Cincinnati is representative of a subset of listings available on Zumper over the last few years.
Cincinnati's most sought-after neighborhoods offer a unique blend of character, amenities, and lifestyle options. For those who value social living, Mount Auburn, Over-The-Rhine, Mount Adams, and the Central Business District are ideal, with their vibrant restaurant scenes, walkable streets, and convenient transit options.
Pet owners, on the other hand, may prefer Westwood, South Cumminsville, West Price Hill, or Mount Airy, which offer an array of pet-friendly features, including dog parks, pet spaces, and outdoor areas.
If you're looking for a more affordable option, East Westwood is worth considering, with 1-bedroom rents averaging $900 per month, 22% lower than the city median.
For those who want to be in the heart of the action, Cincinnati's most popular neighborhoods are College Hill, West Price Hill, and Mount Airy, with 1-bedroom rents averaging $1837.5 per month. These areas garner significantly more interest than the market average, with Mount Airy receiving nearly three times the average interest. Each of these neighborhoods offers a unique charm and attractions that make them highly sought after by renters.
