Renting in Toledo, Ohio

Answer 1

The city of Toledo, Ohio, located on shores of Lake Erie, has a rich past, a vibrant present, and an exciting future. Toledo rose to prominence prior to the industrial revolution as a port city. When the industrial revolution took hold, Toledo earned its nickname of the “Glass City” for its strong manufacturing sector, particularly in the automotive glass industry.

Why Toledo?

Toledo is a city on the rise. While manufacturing remains a strong industry, Toledo is growing its technology and research sectors, as well. For individuals interested in the ecology as well as the economy, Toledo is one of the leading cities for solar technology and manufacturing.

Toledo is a city of small neighborhoods. Rent a town home in the Old West End and walk in the footsteps of Toledo’s elite citizens, from the turn of the century. Enjoy a beautiful view of the water from a rental in Point Place bordering Lake Erie, the Maumee River, and the Ottawa River. The hustle, bustle, and excitement of a college town abound in West Toledo apartments. Home to the University of Toledo’s main campus, West Toledo is a center of educational, social, and cultural activity. The refurbished Toledo Warehouse district is an excellent example of Toledo on the move. St. Clair Village is comprised of 5 contiguous 19th century buildings that had served as warehouse space and a hotel. Now a multiple-use complex, it is home to commercial storefronts, a local art gallery, office space, and loft-style apartments. A wholesale butcher shop, complete with meat hooks, is now an art gallery and residence. Rent a loft, a condo, or a home in this up-and-coming area.

With so much activity, Toledo has not neglected nature. Metroparks was founded in 1928, and leased its first parkland, called Side Cut Park, in 1930. Pearson Park soon followed with 320 acres in the city. Eleven parks are now available throughout Toledo, including The Canal Experience along the Maumee River.
