Norwood, OH 139 Pet Friendly 3 Bedroom Apartments for Rent

Norwood is located about 5 miles northeast of downtown Cincinnati. The city itself is totally surrounded by outlying Cincinnati neighborhoods and suburbs. During the middle of the 20th century, Norwood’s location amongst several major highways made it an ideal spot for manufacturing and industry. Like many Ohio cities, industry pulled out during the latter half of the century, and since then, Norwood residents have been making steps to revitalize its declining city.
