Westview is nestled between Canton and Massillon

About 5 miles between Massillon and Canton is Westview, a small neighborhood in Perry Township. Mid-20th century homes make up most of the neighborhood, although T.C. Knapp Elementary, which will become an early learning center in the fall of 2024, rests in the center. “It’s part of Perry Local Schools, which is desirable for the area,” says Tyler Kuhns, Realtor with the Massillon branch of Stewardship Realty LLC. The school district receives a B from Niche. Most residents travel to the nearby cities for retail and dining needs.

Westview homes sit on grassy lawns

Mature trees are scattered throughout Westview, creating some privacy between neighbors. Residents maintain large grassy lawns that extend to the paved roads, often decorated with shrubbery or flowers at the base of houses and the edge of wide driveways. Most of the mid-20th century homes in the neighborhood are brick and vinyl split levels, ranch styles and bilevels with shuttered windows. Prices tend to fall between $115,000 and $275,000.

Perry Local Schools restructuring in fall 2024

As part of Perry Local School District, students can complete kindergarten through fourth grade at T.C. Knapp Elementary School. Fifth and sixth grade are offered at Pfieffer Intermediate School, while Edison Middle teaches seventh and eighth grade. All three schools earn a B-plus from Niche. With three new elementary schools opening in the fall of 224, the district is turning T.C. Knapp into an early learning center. Perry High School, which receives a B-minus, recently introduced the Library Learning Commons, designed with an open concept to encourage collaborative work and more social settings in the school.

Westview is largely car dependent

While some buses stop along Navarre Road, which connects Westview to the rest of Perry Township, the area is car-dependent. U.S. Route 62 borders the neighborhood and intersects Interstate 77, which locals can take into Massillon and Canton. The Akron-Canton Airport is about 13 miles away and offers 20 nonstop flights to cities across the U.S.

Westview residents travel to nearby cities for shopping and dining

Residents of Westview need to travel for most retail and dining options, although there is one local standout in the neighborhood. Tasti Creme is a family-owned ice cream shop that serves unique homemade flavors from March to October every year. The Nuthouse Saloon and the Lighthouse Grill are American-style restaurants about 3 miles away in nearby Richville. Kuhn recommends Belden Village Mall, which is about 9 miles away, for shopping. “North Canton is a little bit of a drive, but there’s a mall there that I’ll point people towards,” Kuhns says. “I’ll go there often, just to hang out with friends.” Stores include Dick’s Sporting Goods and Macy’s, and people can grab a bite to eat at KPot Korean BBQ or Chili’s. Groceries can be found at Marc’s Stores, about 2 miles away, or Giant Eagle, about a 4-mile drive. Both Walmart and Lowe’s are about 4 miles away.
