Goodyear Heights blends a proud industrial legacy with a leafy, front‑porch culture. Laid out as a model community for Goodyear workers, its curving streets and early‑20th‑century bungalows and Cape Cods offer character homes at approachable prices. Outdoor time comes easy at the wooded trails and fishing spots of Goodyear Heights Metro Park, maintained by Summit Metro Parks. Families also frequent Reservoir Park and the seasonal pool, part of Akron Recreation & Parks.
Schools fall under Akron Public Schools, where neighborhood students are served by Akron Public Schools with pathways to Seiberling CLC and East Community Learning Center. The nearby Goodyear Branch Library hosts story times, maker activities, and community events—perfect for after‑school enrichment. Commuters appreciate easy bus connections via METRO RTA and quick access to downtown venues like the restored Goodyear Theater and the mixed‑use East End campus at The East End, where concerts, dining, and lofts energize the former tire‑and‑rubber corridor.
Proximity to neighboring areas such as Ellet, Firestone Park, and Kenmore makes weekend exploring simple, while regional amenities across Summit County and nearby Cuyahoga Falls expand your options for parks, shopping, and dining. Whether you’re drawn by the neighborhood’s garden‑city heritage, value, or access to nature, Goodyear Heights offers a down‑to‑earth place to put down roots.
