Apartments near Hyde Park/Kenwood (Cincinnati, Mariemont: rental, townhomes, landlord)

[cramos]

I am moving to Cincinnati in July for an internship and am looking for an apartment. I looked at Centennial Station and thought they looked nice, but have read several negative reviews of them (I realize these could be false postings, but there are so many that it makes me hesitant) and am still looking. I am hoping to join the new LA Fitness that is supposed to open in Kenwood, and would like something close by, but my main priority is safety. I am also looking for a place with quiet neighbors. I am married, but my husband is going to be staying in Indianapolis and coming over on the weekends, so I would be fine with living in a family oriented setting. Any suggestions would be appreciated--I would like to stay below $750 per month for a one bedroom or studio. Thanks in advance!

Mariemont townhomes/apartments on and near Murray Ave would be perfect it seems. Kenwood road dead-ends into Madisonville. Take a Left on Madison, Right on Plainville, Plainville dead-ends into Mariemont. Nice area, quiet, neighborly. I lived over there in 02-04. I ended up talking my landlord into cheaper rent b/c there were so many available townhomes in that area. Something to think about. The town-homes are owned by various people renting them out. There isn't just one rental company or owner.

Centennial Station is nice, just overpriced. I've lived there but just left recently.

I like the Ravenswood Apartments on Erie Ave. in East Hyde Park. Very convenient, large diverse community. Best of everything nearby. Apartments are not really charming inside due to 20's or 30's architecture, but this place is in a location no one can seriously be critical of.

If you are moving to Hyde Park, stay away from a landlord named Peter Smirniotis
