Jackson
Forested suburban homes and sprawling homesteads
Despite the proximity to major interstates, Jackson boasts a tranquil residential landscape. Gentle hills, fields and dense forests outline the community’s home communities and rural homesteads. Spacious home sites are one of the main draws to homes in Jackson, with some contemporary builds offering as much as 21 acres on the lots. Established farmhouses and contemporary suburban homes make up the variety of homes available in Jackson. The community’s rural charm is balanced with urban-esque comforts, such as late-night trips to the local pub or the movie theater. “A big selling feature is how structured this place is, its fairly even-keeled living out here,” says Realtor with Klacik Real Estate Debbie Mook. Prices ultimately depend on the land area each property affords, with more modest homes starting at $75,000 and going up to as much as $460,000 for homes with greater land area.

Biking around Jackson and running the dogs at Austintown Township Park
Parks and public green spaces give locals plenty of opportunities to get out and get active. Locals can practice their tennis swing and bring their kids to the playground at Austintown Township Park. The park also features a half-acre dog park with agility equipment and a separate area for dogs smaller than 25 pounds. Hikes, skaters and bicyclists frequent the Mill Creek MetroParks Bikeway, an 11-mile paved trail running through dense forests and communities around the region. Trails and roads lead by the sparkling waters of Meander Creek Reservoir, which is the largest provider of clean and safe drinking water and, therefore, is closed to public access.

Down the street, locals order sweet treats at Rita’s Italian Ice. Locals shop at Austintown Plaza, home to grocery stores like Aldi and big box stores like Walmart. Across the road is Golden Star Theaters, showcasing new releases and seasonal film events with discount days for theater members and senior attendees. On the eastern side of Meander Creek Reservoir, locals can order out specialty pizzas from CHC Restaurant & Pizza.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
