Akron, OH Area Reviews
Catrina • 1+ years in Akron
February 28, 2025Akron is a great place for local entertainment. It's also hooked up to Cleveland, Green, Cuyahoga Falls, and other parts of Ohio by Interstate 77 (which you will get to know and love in this area). There are some areas that are less safe than others, but overall, Akron can be a fantastic place to call home.
Catrina • 2+ years in Akron
February 27, 2025Akron is a great place to live as long as you're in the safer areas. I personally like to stick to the outskirts, preferring Cuyahoga Falls and the short jog to Akron from there, but there are also some great houses throughout the city. The traffic has the potential to get bad, especially during rush hour, which is something to keep in mind.
