Fair market residential rates range from $478-$1,019 and the vacancy rate is high at 9.9%.

Cincinnati is a large city located in the Southwest portion of Ohio. Although it is not as big as Cleveland or Columbus, it is a significant urban area within the state. That fact dates back to its original history as the first Midwestern "boomtown" that was developed in competition with East Coast cities as an early urban area. Some of that pioneering spirit remains visible in the city today as it tries to make the transition from being a center of agriculture and manufacturing to becoming a major city for the headquarters of Fortune 500 companies.

Whereas most cities in the United States are loosely centered around a downtown area, Cincinnati is more intentionally centered around a town square (called Fountain Square). Surrounding this center are numerous shopping, dining and entertainment venues as well as historic landmarks. The skyscrapers of downtown Cincinnati are spread out around this central location.

Throughout the rest of Cincinnati are a diverse range of different neighborhoods. This is a culturally diverse city, a fact which is both good and bad as Cincinnati has historically been associated with some level of racial tension. That tension is reported to have gone down in recent years as have crime levels. This has increased the appeal of the city, a situation enhanced by the fact that real estate rates are low here compared to the national average.
