A quiet community on the cusp of Central Barberton
Summit County's East Barberton community sits just across the Tuscarawas River from downtown Barbertown, providing access to the city's charming main street, mom-and-pop shopping and dining spots, and town festivals. Within the neighborhood is Summa Health Barberton Campus, one of the larger employers in the area. “It’s a teaching hospital, so there are a lot of interns who will buy or rent on that side of Barberton,” says Realtor Sonja Halstead, a top seller in the neighborhood who owns The Halstead Team of Howard Hanna. Barberton's unique Serbian-style fried chicken can also be found east of the river, as well as a competitive housing market, city parks, and local goods and services.

New builds next to vintage styles in Barberton
East Barberton’s streets form a grid in the primarily residential northern area, while in the south, housing tends to fan out from commercial areas. Sidewalks are not a guarantee, so walkability is limited. Homes date back to the early to late 20th century, with styles like Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods and bungalows, but there are also newer builds. “It goes from an 1800s house to a 2023 house — and you’ll find those on the same street," Halstead says. "Some developers will tear down old homes and build something new." Lot sizes vary from below a quarter of an acre up to an acre. Prices range from $120,000 to $270,000 and upward. Sales prices saw a year-over-year change of 12% between 2023 and 2024, and homes spend an average of 22 days on the market, half the national average.

Famous chicken at Belgrade Gardens
Residents can shop and dine without venturing beyond the neighborhood. Fifth Street Northeast cuts through the center of the neighborhood, and has a Giant Eagle Supermarket, Family Dollar and CVS. A mile trip across the river leads to West Tuscarawas Avenue, central Barberton's walkable, tree-lined main street. Here, M and M's Taphouse has casual bites, retro video games and live music on the weekends. A point of pride in Barberton, according to Halstead, is Barberton chicken, which is cooked with fresh meat, fried in lard and seasoned with salt. “Barberton is famous for its chicken,” she says, noting that Belgrade Gardens, which has been in the neighborhood since 1933, was the first to serve it. “It’s the best one. It’s amazing. The service is great, the people are great."

Both earn a B-minus. Through the Four Cities Compact, the high school offers 18 career and technical programs for 11th and 12th graders.
