Relocating to Cincinnati –Seeking 2 Bedroom Apartment (Need your help!)

Hey Cincinnati Reddit community,

My partner and I are making a big move from the East Coast to Cincinnati in the next 6 weeks, and we're on the hunt for a 2-bedroom apartment to call home. We're hoping the Reddit community can help us out with some suggestions and advice. We were fortunate to visit Cincinnati earlier this year and really loved your city!

However, the issue we are having is finding a decent place that aligns with our budget and needs. We have spent the last 2 months combing through previous Reddit posts, property reviews and all the rental sites (Zillow/apartments.com/hotpads/etc.). Also, we are not in a position to be able to come out and drive around (we have heard that is a great way to find a place). We are at a place that we could really use your help!

Our Must-Haves:

-2 bedrooms (for a bit of extra space), a 1 bedroom with a separate den space could work
-Pet-friendly (we have a well-behaved senior dog and cat)
-Parking (at least 1 spot)
-Quiet and peaceful neighborhood (not looking downtown)
-Good landlord/property management      company (because who likes headaches?)
-Budget: $1600

Please see the map, which highlights our key areas we are looking at, we are also open to suggestions about neighborhoods or specific apartment complexes that fit our needs. Any insights you have, tips on how to make the process smoother, or any leads you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, we're looking forward to becoming part of the Cincinnati community.
