Monfort Heights, OH Homes for Rent

"There's actually a saying: Cincinnati is called the City of Seven Hills," says Lisa Cappel, branch manager at the Monfort Heights Branch Library. "That's just part of the landscape." The community is divided in half horizontally by Interstate 74, which makes for easy morning commutes. Over the past few decades, Queen City has grown into a Midwest hub for healthcare, tech, manufacturing and more.
