Small-town vibes at the center of a city
At the heart of Massillon, known as the City of Champions, is a commercial and residential hub with a warm hometown feel. Mom-and-pop shops and family-owned restaurants line the streets of the historic downtown, just steps from resident's front doors. The community is filled with pride for its local football team, the Massillon Tigers, as they celebrate with murals of the mascot splashed across building fronts throughout the neighborhood. The school spirit is a testimony to the city’s tight-knit community. “The city-wide support has only gotten bigger, and it blankets over everything,” says Amanda Hummel, librarian at Massillon Public Library and lifelong resident of the city.
The Massillon Public Library is a large part of the community of Downtown Massillon.

19th and early 20th-century homes
Narrow sidewalks line the streets of the mature tree-spotted residential landscape. Some lawns are sprawling and neatly trimmed with paved walkways leading to the sidewalk, while others are more compact and dotted with decorative shrubbery. Brick colonials, Colonial Revivals, Four Squares, bungalows and ranch-style homes fill the streets. With all the architectural variety, one thing is consistent— the vast majority of homes are historic, with most being built before the 1920s. Homes that need a little renovation tend to range from $30,000 to $60,000, while turn-key homes fetch a $70,000 to $200,000 price tag.

The Massillon Tigers
The Massillon City School District serves the residents of Downtown Massillon. Students can attend Whittier Elementary School, Massillon Intermediate and Junior High School and Washington High School, all of which received a B-minus from Niche. Local pride for the Massillon Tigers, Washington High’s mascot, is written across the neighborhood. The school spirit can be traced back to the rivalry between the Massillon Tigers and the McKinley Bulldogs that started in 1894. It has grown into a defining part of the city. “Massillon is absolutely a football town. Here, the Massillon-McKinley game is bigger than any professional football,” says the manager of Liebermann’s and Beyond Bakery, Brian Bixler, whose sister Jen Bixler recently bought the business. The week leading up to their annual showdown is a city-wide show of support that culminates in the Beat McKinley Parade, complete with a bonfire in front of the Massillon Recreation Center. The team is a defending state champion.

Family-owned and operated establishments
Family-owned restaurants and unique mom-and-pop shops cluster along Lincoln Way East, the neighborhood's main street. “It's generational. Some places pass on hand to hand between different local families,” says Brian. Kozmo’s Grille serves elevated pub grub in a 150-year-old historic building with warm, vintage charm. Hummel mentions that this local gathering spot features an annual Mother’s Day Grande Buffet. Liebermann’s and Beyond Bakery is a historic downtown spot known for its fresh doughnuts and pastries, as well as Tigers-themed cookies during football. “We handmake all of our dough,” says Brian. “Everything is made from scratch.”
For groceries, Marc's Stores is located just north of the neighborhood on Amherst Road Northeast. There’s also a Target about a mile east.

For a night out at the movies, the Regal Massillon is located on Cherry Road Northwest.
