This is the finest, newest residen•
tial section in the city. Originally developed in 1920 as an ultra-exclusive
district, separate from Akron, this area was named the VillAge of Fairlawn. lio'W0V8l
the severity of too 1930 decline in holll3 construction in this rapidly developed
area., due to its very exclusiveness and Utl.Vyt\rrnnted size, onused the promoters to
petition for annexntion. This wns o.pproved by the City of Akron li:n 1932. The
tn:lin pa.rt, conta.ining the most benutiful o.nd expensive h@mes (n few cost o.s high
o.s $70,000) lies south of the Akron-Medim Rood on nn o.rtistioclly lo.ndsoaped,
hea.vily wooded pla.teo.u. (Since pla.too.u rises o.pproximately 100 feet o.bove the
A. C. Y. ro.ilro~d ct south end, thore is little if o.ny influenoe by this usuul
detriment.) The lots uver~ge 70 foot frontnge o.nd a.re tro.vorsed by exoollent
winding streets (7(11/o in c.retl. pa.vod). The area. is now built up 35%--formerly, the
minimum improvement restriction vms $15,000 but now hns been reduced to $12,500
Six homos from $14,000 up were built in nroo. lo.st yetl.r. Due to the city's woo.k
fimnoiul condition, insta.llo.tion of utilities ho.s boon slow and ho.s del~yed
devolopront of c.roa. . Hov,ovor, nll utilities now hnvo boon insto.llod except go.s
o.nd olectricity in 50% of o.roo. (mostly undovolopod). Schools, ohurohes, o.nd
stores nre convoniont, trnnsportntion is only fair, but not importnnt to this
typo of rosidont. North pa.rt surrounds tho oxeellont Fnirlnwn Golf Courso.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
This very desirable residential area, surrounding the exclusive Portage Country
Club (Golf and Tennis) and bot'dering the beautiful Metropolitan Park System,
was developed between 1922-1929 as a highly restricted district averaging 66-70
foot lot frontage (except northwest corner part oontaining smaller lots and
cheaper homes). Many large estates abutt or are loonted in this area (Firestone
Seiberling, eto.). No attempt was mo.de to evaluate or include these luxurious
homes in the nbove price brnokets. The topography of the area is 1evel to
rolling o.nd excellent wooded ( some - virgin), affording scenic view. Only slight
disturbance is caused by the traversing A. C. & Y. Railroad since but two trains ·
pnss onch dny and the roadbed lies considerably lower than surrotmding territory.
At present the aren is built up 25 por cent; homos avornge 50-ft set bnok from
th0 well-pnved streets; boulovnrd lighting throughoutJ good transportation; excellent schools (King Grnde School - finest in city); store center is rnthor
distant but this is not important to type of rosident. Tho ohenpor nreo. lying
off Garmo.n Road immedintoly north of tho Country Club will improve o.nd tend to
confonn with standard of aron when more fully developed. Six homos were built
in this district last year.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
This area, free from detrimental influences, surrounds one-half of
the most desirable residential section of Cuyahoga Falls. Improvements are uniform, though on compa.ro.tively Sl!Ulll lots, and owner•
occupnnoy is high. .Area is described as follows: built up 35%;
tro.nsportntion good; schools, churches and stores convenient; 2o% streets
paved (balance well graded and cindered); Gorge Park a.butts south end
of urea.. The better homes nre located a.long Portage Trnil, Third St.,
Fourth St., nnd May Avenue (older homos on Second, Third, Fourth ai:id
Fifth Streets vo.ry considernbly in price range). The northwestern
port of this area. is mostly vnccnt but due to restrietions will continue to rema.in fairly dosiro.ble when norma.l building is resumed. A
good olo.ss of Italians occupy the southernmost part of urea. Vehioulo.r traffic is heuviost on Broad Street, Fl"Ont Street nnd Porta.ge
Trnil .
This a.reo. should mo.into.in its present level for several yea.rs and
property, if acquired, should be sold for a fair price.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF AREA:
This district wns a pa.rt of the city of Kenmore until rumexntio11 b:y the
City of Akron in 1929. The enrliest development consisted of chenp small
homes by owners attracted by the chea.pness of land and encouraged b:y the
lack of restrictions nnd absence of utilities. Later development and in·
stnlla.tion of utilities brought the building of better type homes. The
subject area. surrounds the short business district of Kenmore which lies
on Konmore Bouleva.rd between 11th t\Ild 18th Streets. The nvera.ge lot
frontage is 40 feet; built up 50J'; tra.nsportation fa.ir to limited; schools,
churches and storos co11veniem; only to scmthern o.nd ea.stern parts of Q.rea..
The best homes a.nd most desira.blo section of tho a.ran lie in ti1'lt pa.rt ea.st
of 13th Street between Indian Tra.il a.nd Montt\na - Viewla.nd Avenues. This
soction, situa.ted on a. pla.tea.u and known a.s Overlook Allotment, wn.s plntted
into a. first-class residential district of SO-foot front lots-•is now 75%
built up a.nd will improvo, However, genora.l outlook for ba.la.nce of area.
is only fair and littlo hope exists for improvE1nent of oontra.l western pnrt
due to choa.pnoss of homos o.nd low locality.
