Apartments and rental houses are limited, however. An active demand for apartments keeps occupancy levels high at Sidney's major apartment complexes. Sidney apartment complexes offer a diversity of living arrangements, from small buildings with only a few units to multi-unit dwellings. Local residents often remark that Shelby County is an excellent place to raise a family. It's easy to see why.
Towns are small enough for people to know one another.
The city's compact size and well placed and well maintained roadways make it convenient to get from one place to another. No matter where you choose to live, shopping, recreation, and entertainment are only a few minutes away. Shopping in Sidney is concentrated around the picturesque courthouse square downtown, a historic district recorded in the National Register of Historic Places and in shopping centers on the west edge of town. From locally owned shops to national chains, virtually any item can be purchased by consumers. Stores are plentiful and well-stocked, offering not only an excellent selection of merchandise but also the personalized service so rare in today's retail climate.
