Crystal Park Homes for Sale

Crystal Park in Canton is undergoing significant revitalization, focusing on housing improvements and job creation. The neighborhood, about a mile from Downtown, is seeing major infrastructure projects, including the conversion of a bank building into a 24-unit senior living complex and the renaming of Crystal Park Plaza to O'Jays Plaza, which will feature a museum honoring the local musical group. Historically home to industrial workers, the area now offers a mix of two-story traditional homes and bungalows, many of which are starter homes or fixer-uppers. The residential streets are lined with shade trees, and lot sizes vary, with some homes featuring driveways and yards. Local amenities include Nimisilla Park, which offers basketball courts, a playground, picnic areas, and fishing spots along Nimishillen Creek. The park also hosts community events and has dedicated chess tables. Grocery shopping options include StarkFresh Grocery and Walmart Supercenter, with StarkFresh also working to address regional poverty and hunger. Dining options within the neighborhood are limited, but Downtown Canton boasts a vibrant food scene with popular spots like Basil Asian Bistro and George’s Lounge. Transportation is facilitated by the SARTA bus system, and major roads like Mahoning Road and Harrisburg Road provide quick access to Downtown. While the neighborhood is largely car-dependent, some sidewalks support walking within the area. Despite ongoing revitalization efforts, local authorities are focusing on reducing crime through new technologies and intelligence gathering. The northeastern part of the neighborhood is prone to unhealthy air episodes and potential flooding from Nimishillen Creek.
