Live within walking distance of downtown
Positioned in the center of Akron and within walking distance of downtown, Elizabeth Park Valley has layers of texture that might appeal to a broad spectrum of populations. There is access to nature, hiking trails, community gardens, museums and engaging neighbors. This residential neighborhood with speckles of commercial activity along its main roads provides residents with easy highway access that makes an uncomplicated job of getting around town, except during those high-traffic times of the day when travel becomes sluggish. “It has close proximity to downtown. It’s easy to access just about anywhere you need to be,” says Nick Rock, a Realtor with Keller Williams Leagcy Realty Group, who sells homes in the neighborhood and elsewhere around Akron. About a decade into a revitalization effort in this part of the city, Elizabeth Park Valley sits at the head of the Ohio & Erie Canalway Towpath Trail, which follows the old lock and dam system here. It’s a glance back at the area’s past while pushing ahead into the future.

Houses with history
Homes in Elizabeth Park Valley have seen the years come and go. The average house here was built in the early decades of the last century and sits by side with neighboring homes along well-traveled blocks with copious trees. There is a fair share of Arts and Crafts homes and bungalows, Cape Cods and street after street of siding.

Eat, drink and shop merry
When it comes to places to spend time shopping and eating, Elizabeth Park Valley offers residents a variety of interesting places to do both. Northside Marketplace is home to an eclectic mix of specialty shops, crafts stores and a food court. The dining mainstay in the neighborhood is Luigi’s Restaurant. Serving Italian staples like baked lasagna and crusty Italian bread, Luigi’s is a neighborhood institution that’s been serving patrons since 1949. Otherwise, neighboring Highland Square attracts visitors with its many dining and shopping options. “I would say Highland Square is the most popular place for people to venture that’s going to have a whole host of commercial spots and restaurants,” Rock says.

Parks in the Park
It would somehow seem unfair if a neighborhood with “park” in its name didn’t have a park of its own. As it turns out, Elizabeth Park Valley has several. By far, Cascade Valley Park would be considered its most popular, featuring a scenic overlook, trails for hiking, fishing, picnic areas and sports areas. Don’t miss Grace Park, noted for its wide open spaces and walking trail.
