Mid-century homes under the cover of oak trees

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.

Local parks and the Pro Football Hall of Fame
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.

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.
