Tallmadge blends New England-style heritage with everyday convenience, anchored by the iconic Tallmadge Circle and a walkable core of civic spaces, historic landmarks, and local shops. Its location on the edge of Akron, near Cuyahoga Falls and Kent, means short drives to major employers, universities, and entertainment, while residents enjoy a quieter, close-knit community at home. Learn how the city grew around its distinctive town green on the City’s history page, a great primer for newcomers and curious locals alike.
Families value strong academics through Tallmadge City Schools, which offer rigorous coursework and pathways into career and technical programs via the Six District Educational Compact. The Tallmadge Recreation Center fuels year-round activity with youth leagues, fitness classes, and an indoor track, while the Tallmadge Meadows Area of Summit Metro Parks delivers prairie blooms, birding, and peaceful trails just minutes from the Circle. History buffs can step into the region’s past through the Tallmadge Historical Society, which preserves the Old Town Hall, archives, and community stories.
