Cherry Avenue
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.

Canton City Public Schools
Canton City Public Schools serves Cherry Avenue students. They can start their education at Gibbs Elementary School, which receives a C-minus rating on Niche. Madge Youtz Intermediate School is the next stop until sixth grade, then Crenshaw Middle School until eighth grade. Students then finish up at McKinley High School, which has been a proud part of the city since 1918. The high school, intermediate school and middle school each earn a C rating.

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.

Canton’s museums and theatres
Fourth of July fireworks at the McKinley Monument are an annual tradition in Canton. The Canton Museum of Art is only a mile away, and it offers daily tours and educational programs with art from the 1800s to contemporary times. The Canton Palace Theatre, a historic entertainment venue hosting over 300 events and 100,000 visitors annually, is also just about a mile away.

Aultman Hospital and electric substations
Cherry Avenue is close to the excitement of downtown, but it is also close to an electric substation on the neighborhood's western border. The CAP Index score for the neighborhood is 9/10, which is higher than the national average of 4. Residents of Cherry Avenue seeking medical care are 2 ½ miles away from the Aultman Hospital, which specializes in Cancer, Heart and Emergency/Trauma.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
