Fairmount Homes for Sale

Fairmount in Canton is characterized by its ranch-style homes, with some bungalows and new traditional-style houses. Many homes feature garages, driveways, and fenced yards, though street parking is common and not all properties have enclosed lawns. The neighborhood is bordered by multiple rail lines to the south, which can contribute to noise, and includes several city facilities like the Sanitation Department and heavy-industry sites around its perimeter. Despite this, the center of Fairmount remains largely residential and recreational. Harmont Park, Willig Park, and Bors Field offer various outdoor activities, including walking trails, basketball courts, playgrounds, skate parks, and baseball fields. Herbruck Park and Annex hosts the First Tee Non-Profit Youth Golf Program, promoting golf and character development for kids. Shopping options include Save A Lot and Walmart Supercenter, with additional dining options along U.S. Route 62 and Ohio State Route 153, such as Sunrise Café and Irie Island Jamaican. Fairmount is a car-dependent area with access to major roadways and the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA) bus service, which connects residents to downtown Canton and beyond. Cyclists can enjoy the Middle Branch Trail through Schreiber Park. The Akron-Canton Airport, 11 miles northwest, provides flights to major cities.
