We're moving to Lima, OH [View all]

We could really use some advice/insight about rental housing in the area.

Hubby will be working at 625 N. Cool Rd, Lima, OH. We'd like to live within a 20-30 min drive of this location, and would like to stay outside of the city-proper. We're in our 50s and looking for a generally quiet area with low crime. We both have cars so we don't need public transportation, and don't really care about proximity to stores, etc.

We're looking to rent an apt, condo or house, 2bdrm, with laundry in-unit for 6 mos to a year. We'll be taking some time to look for a house to buy and don't want to be stuck in a lease for any longer than that.

We are leaving the Ft Worth, TX area, and what I've discovered online so far is that the cost of living is lower in Lima. I would say our budget for rent is approx $700 - $750/mo.

Any help regarding areas to avoid, any specific rental properties you know are crap, etc...would be most helpful.
Does anyone here live in or near Lima?
