Another fun-filled activity popular with the locals is catching a RubberDucks game at Canal Park. Lock 3 serves as an outdoor venue that frequently hosts morning yoga sessions and 5K running events. Great bars and restaurants are in walking distance of both venues. Residents of Downtown Akron enjoy close proximity to Interstate 77, area hospitals, as well as the Akron Art Museum.

🛡️ Renters Insurance — Estimated Cost
Estimated range for Ohio at $20,000 – $24,999 of personal property
About $165–$184 a year.
Based on what Ohio renters actually paid: NAIC industry data for 2023 (average HO-4 premium, 756,038 policy-years), adjusted to July 2026 with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics tenants' insurance index. It is a market average, not a price for this building and not a price for you.
Your own price depends most on your credit-based insurance score, your claims history and which carrier you choose. In published Ohio figures the same coverage ranges from $127 a year at excellent credit to $933 at poor credit. We do not ask for any of that, so we cannot narrow this for you.
