Oak Place is a quiet, walkable neighborhood just north of Canton’s busy downtown. Filled with turn-of-the-century American Foursquare homes and mid-century Tudors, the community has a quaint and historic feel. Residents enjoy access to sprawling parks with creek-side views, attractions such as the Pro Football Hall of Fame and local watering holes a walk or a short drive away.
American Foursquares, Tudor-style homes and colonials dominate the residential area. Like in the neighboring community of Historic Ridgewood, most homes are older, dating from the early 1900s to the 1950s. Thick swaths of oak trees cover the neighborhood, while narrow sidewalks line the streets. Prices range from $90,000 to $200,000.
Just northeast of the neighborhood, Weis Park sprawls with athletic fields, picnic spots, tennis courts, playgrounds and walking trails. The park also has such features as zip lines and a 20-foot climbing structure. Stadium Park, one of the largest recreation spaces in Canton, is about a mile and a half west. A walking path follows a creek lined with shade trees to a pond at the park's northern tip. This scenic nature oasis also has sports fields and facilities for tennis, pickleball, baseball, soccer, shuffleboard and chess. Nearby, the Pro Football Hall of Fame showcases the NFL’s 100-plus years of history. The Hall of Fame Village, a 100-acre sports and entertainment hub, surrounds the museum.
Just across West Branch Nimishillen Creek, Jerzee's Sports Grille is a casual bar serving classic pub food. This restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere, outdoor seating and frequent live music. Taggarts Ice Cream, open since 1926, offers a nostalgic trip to the past along with frozen treats. For groceries, there’s a Giant Eagle Supermarket a mile and a half north of the neighborhood, just across U.S. Route 62.
The Canton City School District serves Oak Place. Students can attend Belle Stone Elementary School for kindergarten through fourth grade, Clarendon Elementary School for fifth and sixth grades and Crenshaw Middle School for seventh and eighth grades. All scored C-minuses on Niche. Students can continue at McKinley High School, which earned a C and offers over 15 career and technical education programs. Malone University, a private Christian college with just under 1,000 students, borders the neighborhood to the north.
“Our downtown area offers first Fridays every month, and it’s a big gathering,” says Pamela Oster, a Realtor with eXp Realty. “There's always a lot going on.” This monthly event celebrates the arts with live music, food and vendors, featuring a new theme at every gathering.
Downtown Canton is about 2 miles south of the neighborhood. The Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA) services several bus stops along 25th Street Northwest and Cleveland Avenue, which border Oak Place to the north and west. The nearest hospital is Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital, about 2 miles west. The Akron-Canton Airport is about 9 miles north.
