Originally built for Goodyear Tire employees, this historic Akron neighborhood offers charming homes and surprising affordability. The area features Goodyear Heights Metro Park with hiking trails and recreation facilities just steps from residential streets. Rental options typically provide more space than downtown alternatives, though some properties require updates with varied conditions throughout the neighborhood.
Bohemian energy infuses Highland Square, where Akron's most eclectic neighborhood centers around a vibrant business district filled with independent shops, restaurants, and the iconic Highland Theatre. Rental options include apartments above storefronts and divided homes from the early 20th century with character details rarely found in newer construction. The annual Art in the Square festival exemplifies the creative community spirit. Some buildings show their age with quirky layouts and dated systems, and winter street parking can be challenging after snowfalls. Especially attractive to artists, musicians, and young professionals who value authentic urban experiences and walkable amenities over cookie-cutter convenience.
Craft beer culture thrives at the Akron Art Museum's "Art & Ale" nights and R. Shea Brewing's experimental taps. Renters in historic homes face lead paint abatement costs but enjoy quick Towpath Trail access.
