Housing Near 44302

Akron is a classic Rust Belt city with a lot of affordable pre-war housing. Highland Square and Wallhaven have well-kept 1920s homes. Firestone Park was a planned community built by the tire company. Many homes in Kenmore and Ellet are 1950s ranches. Deferred maintenance is common — a lot of homes need siding work that's been put off for years.

What Homeowners in Akron Say

"Switched from wood to engineered wood on our Akron two-story. The contractor handled lead paint testing, full encapsulation, and everything OSHA wants on an older home. Felt like working with grown-ups."

Maria V.Akron, OH
