Why Live in Downtown Akron

Downtown Akron is a neighborhood defined by its outdoor amenities and commercial buildings, with single-family homes only making up about 5% of the area. These homes are often Colonial Revivals from the 1900s with multi-car driveways and over 1,000 square feet of space. The University of Akron is central to the community, so most housing serves as off-campus student residences. The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail runs through downtown, offering up to 90 miles of exploration between Cleveland and Philadelphia. Lock 3 hosts a summer concert series. Indoor activities include events at the Akron Civic Theater, Akron Art Museum and Summit Artspace. Downtown Akron is also home to Canal Park, homes of the RubberDucks — Akron’s minor league baseball team. Dining options range from Spaghetti Warehouse for Italian to Crave for American, with nightlife spots like Interbelt Nite Club and Jilly’s Music Room. Retail includes local stores like The District Boutique and Full Grip Games, with an Aldi nearby for groceries. Interstates 76 and 77 provide access to Cleveland, 40 miles away. Downtown is 15 miles from Akron-Canton Airport.
