Welcome to Painesville! This northern Ohio city is located on the banks of Lake Erie and has plenty of options when it comes to apartments for rent! Let’s take a look at some neighborhoods.
Painesville is located about 30 miles from Cleveland and a little over five miles from Mentor. Despite this proximity, Painesville has its own quiet, friendly vibe and small town charm. However, if you find yourself getting bored in this city of about 20,000, you’re only a quick drive from much more urbane attractions.
You’ll find that Painesville is overall a safe, quiet community with fairly low instances of crime. Regardless of where you end up settling, you should find yourself pretty comfortable, and the low cost of living means there are tons and tons of cheap apartments.
So you may not have to worry about crime, but there are other dangers. Painesville was subject to a lot of flooding in 2000 that destroyed a large number of great condominiums near the Grand River. These condominiums have since been torn down to support a small forest floodplain to prevent future damage. There are still a number of great condominiums in this area available for rent and purchase, and a greater awareness of flooding trends has helped protect the remaining properties. Additionally, living in this area will put you right on the shores of Lake Erie and close to Headlands Beach State Park.
Still, if you’re afraid at all of being totally submerged during heavy rainfall, you’re going to need to look elsewhere. To the far west of the city center, near the Diamond Centre shopping, you’ll find a couple of new apartments for rent that offer everything from studios to two bedroom units. These complexes frequently offer amenities such as a clubhouse, gym, and swimming pool. Living in this neighborhood will put you in the closest proximity to both Mentor and Cleveland. Two bedrooms here generally range from $950 to $1,200.
Just south of downtown, adjacent to Lake Erie College, you’ll find a small quiet community with a few rental options available, including apartments and rental homes. As you get closer to campus you may also be able to locate rentals that offer short-term lease deals. Two bedrooms here range from $1,000 to $1,200.
East of downtown you’ll find a smattering of small apartments and rental homes in quieter neighborhoods. While these rentals may not have the most in terms of amenities, they are quite safe and generally desirable. Two bedrooms here range from $900 to $1,100.
If you’re relocating to Painesville with a four-legged pet, don’t worry! Painesville’s rental market is both cat and dog friendly. Come with some extra cash, though, because securing a pet friendly rental usually means forking over a bit extra in your deposit.
So welcome to Painesville! Enjoy all that this small Lake Erie community has to offer! View Painesville City Guide
Finding an apartment in Painesville that accepts your pet may not be easy, but it’s very possible. Keep in mind, most of the time you’ll have to pay a premium for bringing your dog along in your new apartment. Some apartments require you to pay monthly pet rent, others will ask for a non-refundable pet fee or a refundable pet deposit.
While landlords and property management companies have varying pet policies, most of them limit the number of dogs you can bring to your apartment and include breed and weight restrictions.
If your pet falls under some of the restrictions outlined in the pet policy, it’s still worth asking the landlord if they can make an exception for your dog. Preparing a pet resume ahead of time could help you build the case for your furry friend. Make sure to include information on behavioral training your dog went through over the years and proof of vaccinations. If you can, include references from your former landlord and/or neighbors.
