I was showing the unit at 4435 Ridgedale last week when something caught my eye through the patio doors. A family of deer wandered right through the backyard, pausing to nibble on some fallen apples. The current tenant just smiled and said, “They visit every morning around this time.” That’s the kind of surprise that comes with living here – the kind where nature feels like your next-door neighbor.

The Space That Actually Breathes
When you first walk in, you notice how the light filters through the trees outside, casting these gentle shadows across the living room. The patio doors in the dining room aren’t just for show – they’ve become this seamless transition between inside and out. I’ve watched people leave them open on cool fall days, letting that fresh Akron air fill the entire first floor.

The upstairs office space? Most people turn it into their “quiet room” – whether that’s for actual work, yoga, or just escaping with a good book. The bedrooms are positioned perfectly to catch the morning sun, and the half-bath downstairs means guests don’t have to trek up to the second floor.

The Kitchen That Actually Works
The kitchen has this practical layout that makes cooking feel less like a chore. The counter space is generous enough for multiple people to work together, and that nearby pantry? It’s deeper than it looks. I watched one tenant store everything from small appliances to bulk groceries in there with room to spare.

The Little Things That Make Life Easier
The attached garage is a game-changer during Ohio winters – no scraping ice off your car before work. The basement laundry means no hauling clothes to a shared facility, and the extra storage down there handles seasonal items beautifully.

Straight Talk About Living Here
The $1,450 gets you a home that feels more like a house than an apartment. The forced air heating keeps things consistently warm in winter, and the central air handles humid summer days without struggling. While you’ll pay utilities separately, the energy efficiency of the place keeps costs reasonable.

The no-pet policy is firm, but it means no surprise allergies for sensitive visitors. The first and last month rent requirement is standard for nicer properties in Akron.

Why People Choose to Stay
There’s a tranquility here that’s hard to find in the city. The way the trees surround the property creates this private bubble where you can forget you’re just minutes from everything Akron offers. I’ve seen residents spend entire weekends just enjoying their patio, watching the birds and occasional wildlife pass through.

The current tenants have kept the place immaculate – we’re just asking that you respect their privacy during showings.

Come see for yourself some morning when the light is just right. Bring your coffee and imagine drinking it on that patio. Watch how the trees sway in the breeze and how quiet it feels despite being in the heart of everything.
