Suburbia just outside downtown
Sitting at the confluence of West Sippo Creek and the Tuscarawas River is West Massillon, a neighborhood directly west of downtown Massillon. New Englanders first settled in Massillon in the early 1800s for the region’s proximity to the waters and easy transport. Today, the area retains the same generational homes built from the previous century but has also developed into “an established and accessible neighborhood,” says Stephanie Sayles, a local Stark County real estate agent with Whipple Auction & Realty Inc. life in West Massillon offers proximity to downtown without the accompanying hubbub, as residents here enjoy a sparse, suburban landscape.
Historic homes and tree-lined streets
Laid out in a grid, the residential area stretches from the Tuscarawas River in the east to 17th Street Northwest to the west. West Massillon homes sit atop lawns speckled with mature trees, providing shade to many front yards. Most homes were built between the 1870s and the 1920s with ranch-style, Colonial Revival and four-square architecture. The median lot size is around an eighth of an acre, smaller than those in adjacent neighborhoods to the west. Prices range from $60,000 to $170,000, with homes built after 1950 falling on the higher end of the spectrum.
