It's rare that a restaurant can elevate a town's popularity, but Montgomery Inn, which opened in 1951 in Montgomery, Ohio, did that by serving what all locals agree are the world's best ribs.
It's rather impressive that the city has eight landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places. Just north of Cincinnati, Montgomery, Ohio, charms with antiquity, modernity and rib sauce. For these reasons, the town is growing. With a population of 10,251, Montgomery occupies an area of 5.3 square miles. If you live close to Montgomery Road, you'll be near eateries and stores. Montgomery is known for its delicious ribs and cold beer. But there is more to this town that yummy food and refreshments, even though that is enough in itself. This town also has a touch of natural beauty that must be seen.
What Renters Should Know
Detached houses account for almost 84% of the units, so you will have the most success looking for rental houses in Montgomery. If you are only searching for rental apartments, your dream is not over as you can find a pad at cool complexes like Olde Montgomery. Your selection, though, won't be as limited with houses.
Buy or Rent
Since a majority of homes are owner-occupied in Montgomery, if you plan to settle down here, purchasing is advised as property values are increasing and the market is among the healthiest in the Cincinnati area. If you won't be here long, aren't sure of your plans or simply don't wish to purchase, find a home for rent.
Landing the Pad
From fall through early spring, you may not see as many available houses and apartments for rent in Montgomery as the market slows. Figure it will take about 20 days to get a home during that period. Late spring is the best time to look because the weather is nice and lots of leases expire then. Summer has many openings, but it's quite humid. If you come in late spring or summer, 10 days should be enough time to land a place. Once you've decided on a place, be prepared to provide one month's rent, applicable fees and the deposit. A credit score and proof of income might be necessary too, but a little extra dough might convince the landlord to ignore a little ole thing such as not so stellar credit.
