Akron

Located in Summit County, this Ohio city of roughly 189,500 residents currently has 758 active listings on the market, offering buyers a relatively wide selection compared to many regional markets. The median home price sits at $134,900, with a price per square foot of $133 and an average home size of 1,548 square feet, making ownership accessible at a range of budget levels. The median household income of $48,544 aligns reasonably well with local price points, and the owner-occupied rate of 50.8% reflects a market split nearly evenly between owners and renters. That rental presence signals consistent demand from investors and landlords alongside traditional buyers. Families with children would fall under the Akron City School District. The combination of lower-than-national-average pricing, a sizable inventory, and a large population base of nearly 190,000 gives both buyers and sellers a market with meaningful activity and room to negotiate.
