  • Enjoyed convenience to shoping
    "I lived in this area for three years and really enjoyed it because it was convenient to fire stone stadium, hiking bike, trail, numerous grocery and small stores all the store close by where I did most of my shopping. Convenient to the main post office in downtown Akron. I can bike trail ghost towns in Canal Fulton that up to Cleveland. Goes by Summit lake which is very picturesque. The pictures are outdated. The house is been all redone inside new kitchen new bathroom new paint very convenient to different highway systems not much traffic on the street so you don’t have to worry about your dog or children getting hit by cars. I do miss the neighborhood."
