Living in Akron Ohio 

The only landmark I care about on Akron is 339 Lloyd Street 😂

Home of the world famous Akron goblin.

Do you have any homes for sale on Lloyd Street? I'd love to move

I live in North Hill in Akron. We have amazing international restaurants, Nepali, Thai, etc. And also have Italian, Asian and Indian grocery stores. Underground spots with great food!

Cyraxx put akron Ohio on the map

Loved the shout out for Swenson's. I live in Philly now and I always tell people here "You can have your cheesesteaks, just give me a Galley Boy, fries, and a cherry coke from Swenson's"

Nice job! I'm glad you mentioned Luigi's and Swenson's. Cuyahoga Valley National Park is outstanding.

The most friendly little town,everybody is so nice !

Hey brother!!! I absolutely L❤️VE Y🙂U, THANK YOU 4 SPEAKING SO HIGHLY OF OUR CITY... YOUR TRULY A GIFT TO US ALL, I DESIRE TO RELOCATE BUT HOLE WILL ALWAYS BE HOME.... YOUR AN AWESOME MAN & I THANK G🙏🏾D 4 YOUR PRESENCE & CHARACTER 🤜🏾🤛🏼.

Being sent there for work this Tuesday! Excited to explore!

Lived there from 72-80 my family owns SIT Strings there in Akron my grandfather owned Lays guitar repair in Kenmore

Thank you very much for your heartfelt youthful perspective!! I love the lower stress driving and pedestrian experience in Akron. You can get to work, socialize and do community events without reducing enjoyment of these daily experiences by chronic frustration with transportation concerns. So, you can still get enough city life with a somewhat small town feeling!!!

Thanks, Alex! Love what you do to show off our area in a positive light. I owe HUGE credit to Akron for my success in the driving and food delivery business. Market Street has all the restaurants and South Akron gives me the very best tips. Hard working people that aren’t pretentious in any way. Love the city! Go RubberDucks!

I've been living in the Ellet area for quite some time now. Minus the recent construction I've been very happy but I must admit that I do miss being able to walk to a restaurant or bar as I could in Highland Square. I believe that if we keep moving forward in the right direction as far as the changes go (including construction) than Akron will definitely be in a better place in a few years. Also... vet to vet... thank you for your service!! 🙏🙏

Very good video. Thank you for shining a bright light on our city.

im here in akron ohio, my hometown. thing i love about akron is its history. seriously so underrated when it comes to how much history our city has from the AA being founded here, to the rubber city, lebron james, so many and so much more that deserves a mention.

Love your enthusiasm! Thanks for all the info 👍

Akron is family oriented. Im in Columbus, its nice but superficial and expensive lol. Great video!

One of the best places in Ohio is Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Awesome content man! Surprised you didn't mention the East End development in Akron. I feel like this area is up and coming too!

Dope content man all the best 💪

Miss home when I ask about chicken and jojos I get crazy looks it's an Akron thing lol

I think I'm going to binge all your videos tonight! Not moving anytime soon, and when we do relocate it'll be for job purposes (my husband's in particular) but I will definitely show him your RU-vid Channel because as I commented on another video, I want to live close to my cousin, who is moving to Akron from Phoenix.

You totally forgot the Valley. So many wonderful restaurants and great things to do. 😊

I do love that Cuyahoga Valley Park! Definitely a place to visit!

Akron is definetly on the come up and will be a destination in 5 to 7yrs fasho👌🏽

Lived there. Loved it. The shopping was amazing. The park awesome.

I graduated from Shaker Hts High and moved to Akron for college. I moved onto my own apartment after 3 yrs of dorm life and realized summers in Akron is amazing. Downtown farmers markets- didn't know there where multiple kinds of Garlic!- and free movies at the library.

I live in the Kenmore Area of Akron. Moved here, a year ago. Originally from Boardman, but moved around alot, growing up (Dad was Army). Very happy to be home, and love learning about my area and the city as a whole.

thank you for video 😍

I live in goodyear hights and I love the history of the city. I love canal park it's a beautiful baseball park with the skyline behind it.

No place like home .🙏🌻💯 a kid from Akron too.

I'm from Akron & I love it

Great energy,and i even forgot for a moment you were here to sell property. You did good,and the biggest things i would've added was the goodyear footprint/abandonment, breaded potatoes (jojo's), sour kraut balls, and the fact that akron once had professional basketball teams. Matter of fact look up mr chuck Taylor and learn ya something ya probably didn't know. One love Akron

Alex, Great video, but you need to include the Portage Lakes as you discuss what makes Akron unique and special. I know that part of Portage lakes is in Coventry township, but the area is so close to Akron that it really ought to be included in any discussion about Akron. The Portage Lakes are utterly unique to the region as well as the entire state. I think you should make a video "on the water" via a pontoon boat to show off the shoreline and highlight places like the Nauti Vine, the Upper Deck, and the marinas. I'm sure the real estate would appeal to high end buyers too.

Swensons, hamburger station, luigi's....omg in Denver now and I'm soooooo hungry for ohio food. Ugh...Lawsons chip dip...but of course the Cuyahoga valley.. but growing up I remember for Christmas going to Quaker Square...I loved that place and eating on the train. Of course great museums in ohio and as a lesbian I was lucky that growing up Akron had several clubs and bars that I could go to and feel safe. Like the Interbelt and Rosettos

I worked in Highland Square a decade ago when I lived there. And I loved Stan Hewitt.

Great video!!! I'm ready to move to Akron!!!

I moved to Akron about 3 years ago and am quite happy with that decision. The things that I like most about Akron are the trees, city parks and the rolling hills. The cost of living is low and allows you to actually have free time. Near the city are many beautiful old towns and places to explore. The waterways and lakes are clean. I live near Portage Lakes. I think with the change we're seeing in more people working from home it could be good for cities like Akron. I mean why pay $400k with $12k in property taxes for a 1200 sq ft home in say NJ, my home state, when you can have the same in Akron for about $180k and $2.5k in property taxes? And yes, all the guys in Akron are as cute, friendly and sweet as this guy! Jersey not so much.

Hello from the european capital of culture, your partner city, Chemnitz! It was a nice video! :)

Strickland's Ice cream lembos italian restaurant and parrasons itslian restaurant.

The FOOD!!!!! Akron Has Amazing food! Slavic chicken houses all over the west side. Stellar pizza and Italian. Over in Kenmore Show case Meats is a absolute 💎 for take out. Belgrade's chicken garten is the best for sit down.

Is there high crime? Thanks for the video, it was very information. I am thinking about moving to Ohio in a year or two to be closer to my brother!

I lived in akron for a year, not for me.

I'm 54 years old, I grew up in Akron during the 70s and 80s. I moved to Cleveland in 1999, because Akron was just too sleepy for me. I was working as a waiter and bartender and the tips in Akron were so stingy. I tripled my income just by moving 35 miles to the north. I'm happy to see that LeBron has been good to Akron, very much so. I used to work at Tangiers and I couldn't stand Edward George, what a mean and nasty boss he was. There has been some great changes to Akron since 99. It looks like it's on the upswing. And Akron U has always been a good college. I used to watch the Zips play at the Rubber Bowl. And instead of building that stadium on campus, I would have loved to seen them renovate the Rubber Bowl instead. It was a great stadium and it was historic before it was abandoned and demolished.

I have have lived Miami 15 years I love Miami, but I do feel heart tugs when I remember my childhood in Akron. My Mother still lives i I enjoy visiting during the summer not so much winter lol, and Swenson?? I prefer skyway:)

So here we are 2 years later did any development happen in Akron. When it comes to addaptation to student lifestyle etc. ?

Great ideas ~ Others include St. Bernard's Church downtown, a Catholic ~ and architectural ~ gem. The Cuyahoga Valley Railroad is worth a trip, too. Try the libraries (including summer programs for children) and a trip to Hower House on the campus of Akron U. Wish Quaker Square was still open. It was great in its heyday.

I’m moving to Akron for college, super nervous because I’m a beach baby (I’ve lived in the south most of my life so I’m used to 60° winters) and idk how well imma do with the winter up there😟

U doing great job keep going

I live in bath, which is technically akron i guess. But I love the national park, riding my bike there is always a fun time!

I'm already in the area and I like the cities because they are beautiful

For those of us who can't drink, we have AA founder's day, Dr. Bob's house and a thriving recovery community!

Yes! Thank you, Alex! Quite a few celebrities, came from Akron. Most Notably, Rob, from that one TV show, out of California? ROB-and-BIG? And that funny video show. A few Rock stars, and actorss?

Gotta love the Blue Door if you live around these parts. Great video by the way.

Swensons broke my heart last time I was home. I got food poisoning then I found out my aunt had it too from Swensons. Smh 💔

Mr Zubs!!! I miss that place!! 😥

Alex Akron is well integrated! That's why i love Akron. LeBron!!!

The Hoppin' Frog 🐸 is one of the best breweries in the world... They don't need a parking spot to prove it .

Good info. I’m not from Akron... but looking into moving there. Any advice of what towns to stay away from. Been doing research online but lots of mix feelings among people. Nothing better than getting advice from a local and open minded person.

SOUTH SIDE aka lower akron. Check that part of town out.

Is Massillon Ohio a decent place to retire?

Akron has 68 days of sunshine a year. I thank God I moved to Florida.

I was homeless in Akron moved out in 2018 to Los Angeles.

I'm surprised you could come up with 10min. Akron is a portapotty engulfed in flames. Run, don't walk away.

Ohio has a whole economy based around LeBron James.

I Love Akron. Awesome town.

I can do without Luigi's, disappointed both times we went there. Lived and worked in Akron for decades, still a resident. Love R. Shea's Brewing in Canal Place and their Angry Pig Pizza. Their Merman Valley location has a great sandwich menu and both locations have great craft brews. Check 'em out.

You forgot about Jilly's in regards to food and live music!

Is there good transportation here?

Kent fosters more of a downtown feel? Kent is in the country and U of akron is downtown! You’re a funny man!!

Love your accent.

I lived in akron from birth to 18. And when i tell you i left and never went back. I MEAN IT!! I havent gone back once. Worst city ive ever been in. Even fairlawn is trash. Unless you enjoy putting your car on ice skates for 9 months out of the year… NAHHHHHHH STAY AWAY

There's absolutely no reason why we shouldnt do a collab!! Dude I'm in Akronite as well!! Lets collab!!

If you only knew what Akron once was. You may have read or heard about it but you cannot know.

I love akron

From CALI Living Inn Akron Ohio Now, Northside, Working Inn Cleveland Ohio...

We also got Roman burgers at Mr hero's an its the best

Here's a great place for burgers. The Hamburger Station. They have locations in Ellet on Canton Rd and Triplett Blvd. In the Kenmore-Coventry area on Manchester Rd just south of Waterloo Rd. I don't know if these locations are still around. But they had one on E Exchange St near Brown St near the AU campus. And on Brittain Rd just south of Tallmadge Ave. Their burgers are like sliders, only a bit bigger. And they're made with all fresh ingredients. The fries are cut and made right there, never frozen. And they have the best fresh squeezed lemonade this side of the Ohio State Fair.

Swenson started in Cuyahoga Falls come on man!! 4:23

I'm from Cleveland, went to U of Akron The Cuyahoga Valley Metroparks are some of the most beautiful you will find, especially in the fall... I'd say second only to Smoky Mountains National Park. Second best thing you can do in this area.... leave.

Darn ,Akron sounds Radical pretty sure near Chagrin Falls

Moved from Temecula Ca to Akron in 2020, the best decision I’ve ever made.

it's also the birthplace of alcoholics anonymous..

do they have buyer brokers there or just sellers in real estate? im heading there soon

Uniontown/green has way too many roundabouts… what was wrong with a stop light… and if you see Akron… just keep on driving.. nothing to see..

Or at least best neighborhoods to have good transportation?

I love Akron i say almost 10 Year dear ,now i live in the Nederlands ,I want to go back a graet city hello to al mj friends at fairlawn🤐💔

I just moved here. I just dont know anyone. except for co-workers.

Great city tons to do but daily shootings are a problem.

R there tornadoes there,?

I think I golfed with this guy last weekend.

It will take a lot more for Akron to get rid of its Rolling Acres mall stigma. And it’s not undeserved. Incredible irresponsible city government letting that mall be vandalized and rot for over a decade like that.

Almost left, without mentioning LEBRON JAMES, and HIS victory, for the CLEVELAND CAVELIERS!:-).

Home of EarthQuaker Devices!❤

hope close chagrin falls ,i like that place but the prices on real estate are so steep!!

anyone know of rave in Akron

I'm trying to move here

Akron!
