Tallmadge is a Northeast Ohio town where eight roads converge at a historic town square, anchored by the community since Reverend David Bacon designed it in 1807. Modeled after classic New England layouts, Tallmadge Circle remains the city’s heart, featuring the Old Town Hall museum and a church dating to 1825. Located just outside Akron’s northeast edge, this small city offers easy access to Akron’s arts and dining scene while maintaining a quieter pace.
Renters find diverse options across 15 square miles—from apartment communities to townhomes and single-family rentals. The housing stock features spacious floor plans at some of Summit County’s most accessible prices. Whether seeking a studio or three-bedroom, Tallmadge delivers solid value compared to nearby Stow or Kent. The University of Akron sits just a short drive away, adding cultural programming and athletics without overwhelming the city’s laid-back character.
