Montrose-Ghent is a commercial hub about 12 miles from Akron
Montrose-Ghent is a retail hub with a suburban atmosphere only 12 miles from downtown Akron. “Montrose is a shopping area. You have restaurants, you have grocery stores, you have nail salons. Right down the street is Summit Mall,” says Realtor Laurie Morgan Schrank with Keller Williams Realty. This commercial hub also features a variety of residences, from modest midcentury ranch-style homes to stand-alone condos. Outdoor recreation, including the 33,000-acre Cuyahoga National Park, is less than 5 miles away. Interstate 77 connects the community to nearby major cities, including Cleveland.

Older homes include ranch-styles, split-levels and Colonial Revivals. New Traditional houses often have colonial or contemporary influences. Prices generally fall between $260,000 and $870,000, depending on size. Larger estates have sold for $1 million to $4 million. Some condos are available, typically ranging from $170,000 to $300,000, although stand-alone units can cost $430,000 to $550,000.

Cars are the main form of transportation, although many people take the Akron Metro bus. “Not only is the bus going to be for people shopping, that’s going to be for a lot of the workers,” Schrank says. Interstate 77 goes through the area, leading about 25 miles to downtown Cleveland. While Akron-Canton Airport is only around 20 miles away, people will often travel the 30 miles to Cleveland International Airport because it offers nonstop service to almost 50 destinations.
