1215 Pondview Ave

Goodyear Heights is one Akron’s most historic neighborhoods. This neighborhood was created by the founder of Goodyear and was used to build homes for his employees. The current Goodyear headquarters is located just south of the neighborhood, but Goodyear Heights maintains a quaint charm through its architecture. Along with apartments, Cape Cods, Colonials, and bungalows, houses built of brick and stucco line the streets of Goodyear Heights. The houses were designed to be “fireproof” as part of the vision of the neighborhood’s founder. Similar to other Akron areas, Goodyear has a low cost of living and there are rental options available for every budget. The former Goodyear headquarters is located right outside the border of the neighborhood has transformed into a multi-use community space. Inside this stoic building you’ll find apartments, office space, a theater, and a gym.
