Streetsboro Apartments for Rent

Streetsboro: Not a Borough, But it Does Have Streets

The nickname, or rather motto (there's a big difference apparently), for this northeastern Ohio town of around 16,000 is "The Fastest Growing City in Portage County." Now before you judge Streetsboro for not thinking bigger, just know that the population here indeed increased by about 33% between 2000 and 2010. That's nothing to sneeze at, even when afflicted with an Ohio winter's cold.

Streetsboro: At The Crossroads of You and Home

Located within spitting distance of Cleveland, Akron, and Youngstown (not literally, but that'd be pretty cool if it were), Streetsboro is the place to call home in the Buckeye State. Founded by a one Mr. Titus Street from Connecticut back in 1798, the city quite evidently gets its name from him. And though it would take until well into the 1800s for folks to get serious about the town in the long-term way, with the hiring of land surveyors to parcel out the town’s over 15,000 acres, it paid off because today the town is a rapidly growing retail hub and example of suburban living par excellence.

Truth be told, it took this place a long time to shed its rural image. Despite the word "street" being a prominent part of the town's very namesake, the place was overwhelmingly a farming community until about 1970, with little actual paved asphalt. In the over 40 years since, it's see the arrival of major consumer outlets like Wal-Mart, The Home Depot, and Staples, with the accompanying growth of detached single family homes and commuter traffic. Streetsboro runs a tight civil service ship and maintains a handy guide to some of the questions one is likely to ask before moving in. Here's a few, answered: J and R Refuse is responsible for picking up trash around town; city council meetings are held the fourth Monday of every month; the Portage County Department of Water Resources answers all queries regarding the sewer system (especially the stinky issue of the sewer bill itself); and all noise complaints are handled by, you guessed it, the police department.

That's one of the nicest things about these small(er) towns, the police actually respond to noise complaints. At least in a timely fashion. We can't speak for any other big metros, but the armed civil servants that work near us have bigger fish to fry than the few being merely too noisy.

And speaking of big metros, the city really has benefited economically by its proximity to Cleveland, and especially the construction of the Ohio Turnpike in the mid-1950s. The population and construction boom that followed is indirectly responsible for the fact that you've now got some serious apartment rental options to consider. You've also got our blessing, i.e. help, so go take advantage!

Streetsboro Doin's

Northeast Ohio is a veritable playground of actions and activities. Some work at cross-purposes, however. For instance, downing wine at Thorn Creek Winery and Gardens isn't going to help prepare you for the thrills and spills at Wildwater Kingdom.

As for fun and stuff, we recommend you visit, well, Fun and Stuff, a year-round amusement park that can get away with it because it's indoors. This is Ohio, after all, which doesn't have the most welcoming winters. We like the brief little jingle you get to enjoy when visiting their site, so please do.

There's really too much to dive into on the topic of what to do, see, and hear in the Streetsboro area. It's a bit unfair of us to highlight one thing to the neglect of the other, so we'll leave that moral dilemma to you. Enjoy your new apartment!
