Unfortunatley , the same problem exists in Shaker Heights. The ghetto is creeping in and destroying this once prestigious city. Cleveland Hts and University Hts have also fallen prey to crime and "ghettoization"
What a shame.!

what about shaker heights?
they have awesome older homes?

I'm really sorry to hear this area is so crime ridden. Something really should be done to save this area.
You just can't find the same craftmanship or unique architectural st yle in today's homes. Living in the burbs is such a generic boring option. Bath , Copley, Cuyahoga Falls, etc, just have no charcter or charm.

well said wpb.
nobody can fault you because everything you said is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

akron has got to get a control on crime.

And VERY HIGH taxes.........................................

this is a great area. generally well maintained and lots of different styles, sizes and ages to choose from. area is currently bargain priced. some foreclosure impact. quite a bit of price decline as all of Akron has had but a very stable owner occupied neighborhood.

that is right on the border of good and bad.
the more you can go also to the west the better you will be.
good luck

Hi Joe-

Yes, this has always been a very stable area and the homes are great back there. Akron in general is pretty stable compared to the rest of the country. We don't see the steep increases in property value, so there's very little downside. Shoot me an email or call if you have any other questions about the area. Happy to hel p anytime.
