1376 N Howard St Akron OH

Merriman Valley sits along the Cuyahoga River in northwest Akron, where wooded ravines and rolling terrain give the area a greener feel than the city center. The river corridor and nearby Cuyahoga Valley National Park offer trails, scenic views and outdoor recreation, while local paths and open spaces make it easy to spend time outside. Dining options include neighborhood restaurants and casual spots, with coffee and everyday shopping available along the main roads. The area has a mix of older homes and newer apartment communities, and downtown Akron’s arts, dining and nightlife are a short drive away. Getting around is easiest by car, though nearby roads connect to the city and park entrances. Merriman Valley’s median rent is $1,295 per month, with a typical range of $800 to $3,302, based on 22 active listings.
