Located just west of Cleveland, North Olmsted offers apartments for rent in a city with a rich historical legacy dating back to 1815 when New England pioneers established a settlement in what was once wilderness. Originally named Plum Creek Township, then Kingston, and later Lenox, the area was renamed Olmsted in 1826 when Charles Hyde Olmsted donated books from his father's collection to create what became known as the Ox Cart Library.

North Olmsted's rental market features apartment communities and townhomes with average one-bedroom rents around $1,050, slightly below the Ohio state average. The city spans approximately 12 square miles and provides renters with access to major transportation routes, including Lorain Road (Ohio State Route 10) and the Ohio Turnpike. The 15-minute commute to downtown Cleveland makes it a practical choice for those working in the metropolitan area.

The Great Northern Boulevard area features the Great Northern Mall and an extensive selection of restaurants along Lorain Road. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the proximity to the Cleveland Metroparks Rocky River Reservation, which offers hiking trails, fishing spots, and picnic areas. With major employers like Moen Incorporated and CommutAir headquartered in North Olmsted, the city combines residential appeal with employment opportunities for its approximately 32,000 residents.
