Since the end of the 20th century, Akron has largely reinvented itself and retained its status as one of the prime cities of the Midwest. Known for years as the “Rubber Capital of the World,” Akron was once a center for technological innovation. Today, this cultural center offers all the urban conveniences of a big city like Cleveland, but in a more intimate setting.

The nearly 20,000 students at the University of Akron heavily influence the city’s culture. Between the Zips sporting events and arts community on campus, there’s a vibrant feel to the city center, not to mention the bars and restaurants that cater to such a crowd. Grades K-12 have plenty of highly-rated schooling options as well. The Plaza at Chapel Hill houses a variety of stores and shops that will delight any shopper, and the Akron Zoo is a must-see for visitors and residents alike.
