The grand plan for Hills and Dales
The Village of Hills and Dales, north of Canton, Ohio, was originally a plot of farmland purchased for development in 1922. The planned community’s developers published a 16-page brochure detailing how Hills and Dales would coexist with Mother Nature and how bird lovers could enjoy the “meadowlarks, bobolinks, wrens…” and other native species. It also promised to keep the neighborhood from being swallowed up by city life. Today, as planned, grand Tudor Revival and Colonial-style homes remain from the 1920s. Residences sit back from the neighborhood streets, tucked behind mature fir and oak trees. Hills and Dales has retained its “park-like appearance.”
Historic homes and acres of land
Most homes were built more than 50 years ago, and some were made as part of the initial project in the 1920s. Lots are usually 1 acre or more, but a few are as small as a half acre. Prices generally run between $400,000 to $600,000, with some outliers on the high and low end. In the $400,000 range, buyers might find a single-story, four-bedroom midcentury residence on less than 1 acre of land. Those wishing to purchase a Tudor Revival or Colonial Revival-style house constructed in the 1920s and situated on an acre or more of land can expect prices at or above $600,000.
Hills and Dales has a limited selection of Mid-Century homes.

Just 2.5 miles north of the village is Lucia’s Steakhouse, which serves fresh seafood and steaks. Basil and Bender’s Tavern are other options in downtown Canton, about 5 miles east.

Driving from Hills and Dales
Though the city of Canton does run a bus service that serves the nearby area, it does not stop within the village. “There is only one way in and out of the village, and there is a 24-hour village police officer on duty,” says Kim Reckenbeil, Owners’ Association President. Residents can bike or walk the streets to head to and from events within the village, but it is important to note that there are no sidewalks in Hills and Dales. Once outside Hills and Dales, downtown Canton is less than 5 miles away. For those needing to commute to Akron or Cleveland, Reckenbeil says they take “under 30 minutes” and “between 45 and 50 minutes,” respectively. The Akron-Canton airport is about an 8-mile drive, and flights leave from there to Washington, D.C. and Chicago.
Deed restrictions
“The original development of the village in 1924 included extensive deed restrictions that remain in existence today. The Hills and Dales Village government has created several ordinances to enforce those restrictions. It is important that prospective homeowners are aware of this, and they are asked to sign a letter of receipt and agreement to abide by the deed restrictions,” Reckenbeil says.
