In North Hill where I work it is all about inclusion at an international level. incredibly diverse population due to its acceptance of immigrants. Independent retailers, few chains/franchises, diverse ages and cultures It is integrated with Sand Run Metropark... that is my backyard it feels like a true community It feels like an actual community. Not just a group of buildings that happen to be in close proximity to each other. It has everything-diversity, quirkiness, and a sense of community It is beautiful, friendly, easy to navigate, and close to Highland Square as well as downtown. It is changing with the east end development. A lot of the people have lived there their whole lives. It is diverse. We live within the search area when prisoners escape from the local jail. It is safer than other Akron neighborhoods, the people are nice and the area is always clean and welcoming for dog walkers, taking your children out, etc. It is the immigrant doorway to Akron. It was quiet, yet fun. There were places to play, spend time with friends and family, and businesses (Highland Square) close by. it was the nice safe neighborhood it's a big family feeling, everyone knows everyone and it's a safe place to live and raise a family It's a nice place to live. People are kind for the most part. It's a walking neighborhood. You can get to the grocery store, movie theatre, or restaurant on foot or bike. It's an old neighborhood, and there is a good variety of socioeconomic diversity. It's eclectic. There is so much life, so much art, and a very liberal mindset. It's historic. It's walkable. It's close to grocery shopping, parks, schools and has a community center. It's history and historical sites It's history and pride It's on the outskirts of North Canton and we are in a really special group of neighbors who help each other and talk regularly. We offer each other left overs or let each other's pets outside if we are away and keep an eye on things while they are away. It's got a very close and homey feel. It's on the rise. Having a neighborhood that is truly walkable is special. Downtown is particularly activated in the summertime. it's people It's pretty cut and dry; a normal neighborhood if you will. It's public schools It's quiet but close to the action It's quiet, safe, and the park is in our backyard It's trying to move forward. Tenacious. it's vibrant and attracts a diverse collective of people to various events or programs It’s a small and local community that strives to keep a clean and safe neighborhood together. It’s diversity.
