Characteristics
Transportation
Traveling as a pedestrian is moderately practical for house buyers in this area; many daily errands can be run without the need to get in a car, and there are also a good number of businesses in proximity. However, it is occasionally difficult to move around by bike in Cascade Valley as there are few bike lanes, and there is a significant amount of slopes. This neighborhood is very car friendly. It is very convenient to park, and many properties for sale are a rather short drive from the nearest highway. In contrast, getting around by public transit is challenging in Cascade Valley. Thankfully, there is the Akron Northside with access to the National Park Scenic Railway. The neighborhood is linked by approximately 10 bus lines, and it is very convenient to reach a nearby bus stop from most houses.
