The best of Canton just outside the neighborhood
The Cherry Avenue neighborhood sits east of Canton's historic downtown district. While most of downtown is made up of office buildings, restaurants, attractions and other businesses, most of the Cherry Avenue neighborhood retains a distinctly residential feel. There are some small businesses, but for the most part, the neighborhood remains a place where people live, work and play. There is also an array of churches throughout the neighborhood offering programs and events to residents daily. Ranch-style homes and bungalows line the streets with quick access to nearby shaded parks and Canton Public School District’s historic schools. The neighborhood is never far from the excitement of downtown, with many homes less than a mile away from popular museums and theaters.
1950s bungalows and four squares
Homes in the neighborhood are modestly sized and budget-friendly compared to other downtown Canton neighborhoods, with a mixture of mostly older houses built in the 1950s and a few more recent constructions. Residences often have similar styles, which can range from a ranch style to newer Foursquare homes. Many homes are on smaller neat lots with local beech and birch trees shading front yards and porches, often sporting chairs and tables. Prices in the neighborhood range from around $40,000 to $120,000.

Cherry Avenue and Tuscarawas Street
Cherry Avenue, a major one-way street heading north out of Canton, borders the neighborhood to the west. Tuscarawas Street, another main thoroughfare of the city's north-south dividing line, is to the immediate south. U.S. Highway 30 is a few blocks south and connects to Interstate 77 and U.S. Highway 62, providing easy access to the entire metro area. The Stark Area Regional Transit Service (SARTA) offers public transportation to Canton and neighboring communities. “The area gets a lot of foot traffic with people walking to the SARTA stations so close by,” says Johnna Artzner, the executive director of the One Center for Leadership, who has been helping the community for over five years. For trips to either the east or west coast, Akron-Canton Airport is 11 miles to the north of the neighborhood.
The Cherry Avenue neighborhood is truly at the center of the Canton area.

Local delis, coffee, and groceries
For dining, many locals head to Deli Ohio. This local, community-focused, family-owned sandwich shop is “under renovations and merging with Unhitched Brewery so that it will be a popular spot for all hours of the day,” Artzner says. There is also Muggswigz Coffee and Tea for a hot and fresh cup of joe. For groceries, residents can head to independent stores like Starkfresh Grocery Store on the neighborhood's western border or travel 3 miles west along Tuscarawas Street to reach big box stores like Walmart.
Old parks and new playgrounds
There are two city parks adjacent to the neighborhood. Nimisilla Park is a heavily shaded area offering plenty of walking paths next to a basketball court and a colorful playset. Cook Park also offers playground facilities but is best known for its baseball diamond. The Cook Park baseball field was home to some of Canton's finest amateur teams for decades and hosts many games in the summer. Just to the south, there is also the Southeast Community Playground, built by Habitat for Humanity, which offers a massive, colorful playset for locals to enjoy.
