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.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
