Rolling Acres Homes for Rent

Rolling Acres in Akron has undergone significant revitalization over the past decade, transforming from the site of the once-iconic Rolling Acres Mall to a neighborhood with a bohemian vibe. The Amazon Fulfillment Center now dominates the area, employing 5,000 workers. The neighborhood features a mix of historic homes, including bungalows, Cape Cods, colonials, and mid-century moderns, many dating back to the early 20th century. Rolling Acres offers convenient transportation options with Interstates 76 and 77, and state highway 261, making most points in Akron accessible within 30 minutes. Akron-Canton Airport is 15 miles away, and Metro RTA bus service is available along Romig Road. Dining options include familiar chains like Taco Bell and Little Caesars Pizza, as well as local favorite Primo’s Deli. For groceries, residents frequent Aldi and Acme Fresh Market. Outdoor activities are centered around Greg Angeletti Ballfields and nearby Prentiss Park, which offer baseball and softball fields, tennis and basketball courts, a soccer field, and a playground. While the Akron City School District has mixed ratings, the neighborhood is served by Pfeiffer Elementary, Miller South School for the Visual and Performing Arts, and North High School, which has implemented College and Career Academies. Rolling Acres residents often visit neighboring Kenmore for events at the Rialto Theatre, which hosts a variety of community gatherings and performances.
