Akron, OH Apartments for Rent

Akron stands at the summit of the historic Ohio and Erie Canal in Northeast Ohio, a spot that helped make the city a major industrial center and later earned it the title "Rubber Capital of the World." Today, this city of about 190,000 residents has an affordable rental market where anyone searching for apartments for rent in Akron can find everything from studios averaging $751 to roomy two-bedroom units at around $1,305 per month. The city's economy has grown beyond manufacturing to include healthcare, education, and biomedical research, with employers like Summa Health and the University of Akron offering steady jobs for renters.

Apartment communities in Akron spread across several great neighborhoods, each with its own personality. Highland Square draws renters with its historic buildings, local shops, and restaurants, while areas like Goodyear Heights and Merriman Valley put you close to Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The city makes it easy to get around with Interstate 77 and Interstate 76, connecting you to Cleveland just 30 minutes north and other nearby cities. Renters can explore the 87-mile Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail for outdoor fun, check out the Akron Art Museum's modern collection, or catch events at downtown's Lock 3 Park. With rent prices below the state average and easy access to both city perks and green spaces, Akron makes sense for budget-minded renters.
