This neighborhood is known for its iconic landmarks
Ellet is in southwest Akron and has all the conveniences and culture associated with being a city neighborhood. The area has some of the city's most significant landmarks, such as the Akron-Fulton Airport, the All-American Soapbox Derby and the first Strickland's ice cream shop. Although it's in the city, the neighborhood isn't uniform. A person can live in bustling streets northeast of the airport or the calm, almost rural, backroads in the southwest. Together, these two sides have easy access to highway travel, staple restaurants and historic landmarks, all with downtown nightlife just 4 miles away.
The All American Soap Box Derby in Ellet was started in the 1930's.

Houses sit in gridded blocks or along forested back roads
The neighborhood has apartment buildings and condos but primarily single-family housing. "There's a lot of really good starter homes in the area," says Theresa Allen, an Akron Realtor for more than 40 years. Styles consist of Colonial Revivals, bungalows and ranch houses on the gridded blocks in the northeast or next to forests and empty fields in the southwest. Fixer-upper properties range from $50,000 to $100,000, have two to three bedrooms and were built during a housing boom in the early 1900s. Move-in-ready properties cost between $100,000 and $325,000. These houses have two to four bedrooms and include older, well-kept, midcentury, and homes as young as 10 years old. Northeast homes tend to have lots no bigger than a quarter acre, while lots in the southwest get as big as a full acre.

The Akron Fulton Airport supports the Goodyear Blimp
As part of a city, Ellet has access to busy streets connecting to highway networks spanning the country. "It's super easy to get around," says Brett Walchalk, a Realtor with Russel Real Estate Services. Interstate 76 hugs the north side, while Highway 224 is south of the airport. Drivers can take both to get to Youngstown or connect to Interstate 77 to get to Cleveland. "The only problem is that highways make the roads super busy," says Walchalk. The neighborhood's most significant thoroughfares are Canton Road, East Market Street and George Washington Boulevard, which all get traffic from people changing highways and locals moving around the area. Akron METRO also has bus six running through several streets, taking people to the suburbs in the southeast or downtown. The Akron Fulton Airport provides a strip for private flyers and a hangar for the local Goodyear Blimp.
The original Akron Fulton Terminal building was dedicated in 1931.
Built-in 1929, The Goodyear Airdock in Ellet was the largest building in the world.
The Ellet neighborhood has convenient access to I-76.

Strickland's serves ice cream made with unique machines
Most stores and restaurants are near Canton Road. Acme Fresh Market and Save A Lot keep fresh produce and essentials close by, while local shops such as the Three Thymes tea shop and the Replay Music instrument store appeal to niche interests. One of Ellet's most popular restaurants is The Lamp Post Diner on East Market Street. The restaurant is famous for its He-Man Breakfast Platter and 1950s diner atmosphere, with red leather seating, checkered floors and Coca-Cola signs on the walls. Strickland's Frozen Custard is another Ellet staple and still operates in its original location near the airport. First opened in 1936, the family-run ice cream shop makes custard with unique churning machines invented by its founder. Customers can get vanilla, chocolate and one of two other daily flavors. Other resources are outside the neighborhood. The Springfield Farmers' Market is 2 miles south in Sawyerwood and is open every Thursday. Summit Mall is to the west, with a 13-mile drive to Fairlawn.

A view of the Ellet neighborhood.
Some homes may get noise from the roadways
Since the neighborhood's roads get so much activity, there are a few points of high noise pollution. Homes in the southwest are some distance from the highway, but houses close to Canton Road or the interstate may have some issues.
