🏘️ Neighborhood

Goodyear Heights is one Akron’s most historic neighborhoods. This neighborhood was created by the founder of Goodyear and was used to build homes for his employees. The current Goodyear headquarters is located just south of the neighborhood, but Goodyear Heights maintains a quaint charm through its architecture. Along with apartments, Cape Cods, Colonials, and bungalows, houses built of brick and stucco line the streets of Goodyear Heights. The houses were designed to be “fireproof” as part of the vision of the neighborhood’s founder. Similar to other Akron areas, Goodyear has a low cost of living and there are rental options available for every budget. The former Goodyear headquarters is located right outside the border of the neighborhood has transformed into a multi-use community space. Inside this stoic building you’ll find apartments, office space, a theater, and a gym. Learn more about living in Goodyear Heights

🛡️ Renters Insurance — Estimated Cost

Estimated range for Ohio at $20,000 – $24,999 of personal property

$13–$16/ monthEstimate — not a quote

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.
