Friendly street and neighbors in a transitioning neighborhood. Only blocks from beautiful stately homes on Jefferson and Dorchester. Great neighborhood for walking with lots of established trees to provide shade along the sidewalks. This home is very close to shopping, great restaurants, bars, The Highland movie theatre, and Downtown Akron. Hospitals and University of Akron are within minutes. Stan Hywet, John Brown House, Akron Children's Museum are very close and it's a 45 minute drive to Cleveland activities. The Mustard Seed, boutique health food grocery store and restaurant is minutes away and a delicious place to stop for lunch! We include a Welcome Binder upon check-in that shares all of our favorite local spots as well as hiking trails nearby and recommendations on fun activities for all ages.

Uber is fast and reliable in this area. DoorDash and UberEats are a super simple way to have food delivered to the door. If you have your own vehicle, there is parking in the driveway or on the street. Please be mindful that the driveway is a shared driveway with our neighbors. Please ensure you do not block access to their side.
