An older Canton neighborhood
Summit, one of Canton’s older communities, continues to go through robust redevelopment. This neighborhood was settled by some of the area’s leading families at the turn of the century. As such, many properties here date back to the early 1900s and reflect styles consistent with the period. Since many of these older residences are in need of renovation, it’s not uncommon to see listing prices significantly under the $100,000 mark. Adding to the community’s appeal is that it’s near a number of green spots like the well-frequented Waterworks Park. It also borders the downtown area, making unique establishments like Milestone easily accessible. This location also means that residents are just a short drive away from nearby major employers like TimkenSteel and many of the city’s festivities, including all the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week's celebrations.
The Summit neighborhood is a historic area that was once home to some of the city's leaders.
Summit Neighborhood is located just minutes away from downtown Canton.

A push for redevelopment
New street lamps, recently redone streets and many renovated homes reflect a city-wide push for redevelopment. "Canton is investor central," says Brendan Lammlein, a broker with eXp Realty who has experience in the community. "Investors are usually buying properties that need the work, and homeowners are typically buying them when they are remodeled." These homes, a number of which are now multifamily residences, often date back to the early 20th century. Common styles include Colonial Revivals and unique two-story builds with spacious porches. Prices typically range from $20,000 to $151,000, largely depending on the property's condition. It's important to note that most of these residences do not feature attached garages, so people often park in their driveways or on the sidewalk-lined streets. Summit receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 6 out of 10 compared to the national average of 4.

Basil, Milestone and other dining hot spots
For food out, Lammlein recommends Basil, a highly rated eatery in downtown Canton known for its Asian-fusion flavors. “I go there all the time,” he says. “I think they have the best sushi around.” Also in the downtown area is Milestone, a spot where people who walk in are greeted with shelves of board games. Locals come here to spend the night playing games with their friends while feasting on gourmet hotdogs and sipping on cocktails. Those wanting to enjoy Italian classics head to Lucca Downtown, an upscale eatery where a pianist often serandes patrons while they enjoy a tasty meal. Those wanting to cook at home can head to the nearby Save A Lot location. For other shopping options, Lammlein says that many people drive to Belden Village, a commercial area home to the popular Belden Village Mall.
Basil Asian Bistro has an extensive list of sushi options.
With over 1,500 tabletop games, Milestone is a great place for fun with great food and spirits.

Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week and other events
Residents are just a short drive away from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, where museumgoers can learn about the sport’s history and the adjacent Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, which seats 20,000 people and is home to the Hall of Fame Game. This event is part of the annual late summer Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Week. Festivalgoers can check out the Grand Parade, which is complete with unique floats and massive balloons. They can also enjoy the fashion show, which is held at the Canton Civic Memorial Center — a spot for many of the city’s concerts and gatherings.

Lammlein says he frequently attends these Friday gatherings. “All the bars are open and whatnot, and there’s a lot of people just walking around,” he says.
