A vibrant downtown area
In downtown Cuyahoga Falls, residents stroll in out of quaint boutique stores in search of their next good read. Weekends are spent hiking in Cuyahoga State Park or kayaking down the Cuyahoga River. On the day-to-day, it’s not unusual to see neighbors chatting with each other beneath the eaves of their home’s wrap-around porch. “It kind of reminds you of the little towns you see in the Hallmark movies,” says Danielle Welling, the marketing manager for the Cuyahoga Falls Library — highlighting the community’s small-town feel, despite its urban nature. Known for its rich commercial scene, Welling says that this area often attracts local business owners who want to be close to their workplaces. While others are drawn to Cuyahoga Falls for its proximity to Cuyahoga Valley National Park and neighboring Akron — the state’s fifth most populated city.
The Workz is one of the community's most unique spots.

Unique establishments
Welling recommends checking out Shelf Life. "You can't necessarily see it from the storefront," she says. Indeed, locals will have to head down a hallway of an unassuming building before they are welcomed by a selection of affordable literary gems. For those wanting to have fun, Welling suggests heading to The Workz. There's just about everything here — a bowling alley, arcade room, live music venue. Those who “ask for Mr. Clean” are welcomed into the establishment's speakeasy, where jazz music and Gatsby-esque decor make people feel like they've traveled back to the '20s. At the nearby Jenks Building, people can buy a drink at Yadda Yadda Coffee before heading to the general store to peruse knick-knacks while listening to live music. For dining out, Welling recommends heading to Burntwood Tavern, where patrons can enjoy classic American digs by the water. She suggests trying their homemade tater tots. For groceries, people can shop at the Acme Fresh Market.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park and more
When the weather gets warm, children can play in the water at the splash pad that sits next to the Cuyahoga Falls Downtown Amphitheater. Come wintertime, the space transforms as festive lights stretch across the seasonal ice skating rink. Less than a mile south is High Bridge Glens Park. Here, visitors smell the blooming flowers at the butterfly garden or head on the bridge to relax with a view of the Cuyahoga River and its cascading falls that are enveloped amid a blanket of dense greenery. It's also the location of the Cuyahoga Falls Farmers Market, which runs from mid-July to late September. Conveniently, adventures living downtown are less than 10 miles from the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Welling recommends seeing the park's Brandywine Falls, a 60-foot attraction. In the spring, shallow pools fill with salamanders, while in autumn, hues of red and yellow create a beautiful kaleidoscope of colors by the water.

An involved library and art center
The independent Cuyahoga Falls Library offers free online tutoring opportunities and a MakerSpace where locals can take advantage of free equipment like sewing machines and a button maker. Perhaps the most unique aspect of the space is the "library of things where we can check out nontraditional items," says Welling. "There's anything from metal detectors to a chess set to traffic cones." Less than half a mile away is the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center, a staple in the community since 1934. Here, locals can take artistic workshops or even attend exhibition events where they can take inspiration from talented local artists.

Downtown Cuyahoga Falls hosts several concerts and festivals throughout the summer.
Heritage Festivals, Falls Downtown Fridays and more
Integral to downtown Cuyahoga Falls is its vibrant events that draw in people from near and far. Welling recommends checking out the Heritage Festivals: Riverfront Irish Festival, Festa Italiana and CF Oktoberfest, where people can feast on tasty flavors while enjoying traditional performances. Summertime also brings Flicks on the Falls and Falls Downtown Fridays to the community. At the latter, people can catch a show at the Cuyahoga Falls Downtown Amphitheater or even immerse themselves in the city’s rich art scene. “It’s a very community-based event. You walk around, you see people you know,” says Welling. She adds that the community's Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (D.O.R.A.) adds to the appeal. On Monday nights from June to September, the downtown area fills with retro cars that people can peruse during the Riverfront Cruise In.
Early 1900s properties
Those who choose to venture beyond downtown Cuyahoga Falls’ main street will be rewarded with block after block of historic residential properties, many dating back to the early 1900s. Here, locals can admire the decorative spindle work of a Queen Anne’s porch or pause to examine classic Four Squares with dormer windows and spacious front porches. Large Tudor Revivals with decorative half-timbering add character to the streets, and modest bungalows peppered throughout the area offer cozier living options with their low-pitched roofs and smaller builds. Home prices typically range from approximately $120,000 to about $460,000; however, most people here rent properties or apartments instead of buying. It's important to note that some sections of the downtown area receive loud Sound Scores because of noise from busy thoroughfares like Front Street and Broad Boulevard.
