ABOUT THE VALLEY

     Northwest of downtown Akron, along the banks of the Cuyahoga River, lies the Merriman Valley. Memories of Ohio's past mingle with retail businesses and a wide variety of restaurants and bars.

     Over 20 restaurants and bars serve outstanding cuisine, featuring Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Mexican, American, and more.

     Looking for unique and interesting shops?  You will find everything from a holistic stone and gift shop, craft your own taco bar, flowers, bicycles, cigars and much more.

    Planning a special night out? Visit the Weathervane Playhouse which offers some of Northeast Ohio's finest productions in an intimate setting.

    Those interested in history should visit Hale Farm & Western Reserve Village for a glimpse into how life was lived nearly two centuries ago. Visit Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens to learn more about the Industrial Age at the turn of the twentieth century.

     Like the outdoors? The Merriman Valley is the gateway to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and to the Summit County Metroparks. Enjoy miles of hiking on the Towpath Trail, kayaking on the Cuyahoga River and more. Miles of new mountain biking trails have been added to the National Park for those who love adventure. Play a round of golf or visit the Akron Dog Park to let your four legged friends play together. 

     Looking for a wonderful place to live? The Merriman Valley offers apartments, condos and single family homes, many within walking distance to restaurants and shops.
