I'm moving in the summer and plan on renting a house for no more than $1,500 a month. I'm finding many houses that are great options but it's hard to tell what areas are both safe and quiet. I need to be no more than 30mins away from University of Akron.

I went through some older posts but I'd like some other opinions. I'm considering buying a house around or in the Akron area (currently renting in C.Falls) What are some of the safer or nicer areas within Akron, and what areas should I avoid while looking at houses? I've strongly considered simply staying in the Falls, if the right house at the right price pops up.

I've also looked at North Hills, but as far as the Akron suburbs go, I'm not too familiar. I'm familiar with everything around Akron, though!

Holy crap! It’s 2:50 (formally 3:50 am) and there was just a HUGE explosion “sound” here in North Hill/ Akron area. Like shook my house, woke my dog, massive explosionary sound.

Does anyone have any idea what that was? (Again, it’s 2:50 am, officially Sunday now…)

Anyone can recommend a good guitar tech for an electric setup?

Hi everybody,

Does anybody know of any fun activities to do tonight during Halloween? I am visiting from the Netherlands where we don’t do much for Halloween, so I’m very curious how things are done here. I have tried looking online but would also like some advice/tips from locals!

Does anyone know about this apartment complex? I’m wondering how the noise levels are next door neighbors and upstairs. Wondering if it’s built cheaply, how’s management, atmosphere etc. I love Reddit!

No way I'm calling back!

Where are guests supposed to be able to park for University Edge in Akron? If friends want to park and visit my apartment, as far as I know, they will be charged a ticket in South Campus parking deck, street parking is minimal and always taken, the 2 hour parking option underneath Edge is full always and I don’t want to make them park at McDonald’s.

Where are non students supposed to park if they’re just having a potentially one-off visit overnight?

Has anyone early voted around 5:30-7:30p during the week? My wife and I are planning to go tonight after work. Just wondered how crowded it might be and if anyone has gone around those times in the last few days. Thanks in advance!

I'm the trivia host at the West Ave Tavern in Tallmadge! We play two free trivia games every Thursday at 7 & 8pm. This week we'll be having Halloween themed games! I'll be in costume with a wicked spooky playlist and candy for everyone. Come out for a good time and a chance to win gift cards! I hope to see you there.

I have a the day off and my kids will be in school on 11/1 are there any local happenings or suggestions for a fun surprise date with my wife?

Looking for somewhere chill to go clear my mind/drive around at night without getting kidnapped or mugged 🙏🏻🙏🏻

What social clubs are in Akron? Just want to broaden my perspective on a few things

Does anyone know what stores sell THC drinks in the area? I feel like it’s pretty hit or miss with the liquor stores and grocery stores and I’d like to find one closer to home. To be clear, not looking for dispensaries, but places that sell THC seltzers, etc.

Hey there, does anyone happen to know where or how I could find more images of this old Kistler's sign that was in Akron? A friend's father used to work there and we wanted to get him a special gift revolving around his time there.

We are looking for some local recommendations for a relationship counselor. If you can share your experiences with them that would be great also!

Thanks in advance!

If someone was moving to the Akron area what areas would you recommend and why? Whether it's directly in Akron or surrounding areas too.

Hey there! Had anyone installed solar shingles? Can you twll me about the experience? Did your contractor negotiate on price and does the state buy the electric you generate but don't use? What would you do/not do if you had to do it again?

Hey there, we are moving to the area next week from Asheville,NC. Our small mobile detail business took a huge blow due to the devastation of Helene. My partner and I are now hoping to rebuild our business in the Cleveland/Akron area!

I am also a multi instrumentalist singer/songwriter looking for a music scene to get into. Any recommendations for places to check out for playing some solo gigs or open jams to check out?

TIA

I hate the places that are just any type of protein with rice and everything is separate. Just want a combo plate with rice, noodles and then two things like orange chicken and whatever else
