Why Canton
Why We Buy Multifamily In Canton
Canton is one of the Ohio markets where we actively evaluate apartment buildings. Rental demand here is supported by Aultman Hospital and Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital, the Timken Company and other Stark County manufacturers, and Malone University, Walsh University, and Kent State Stark.
Home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Canton is the seat of Stark County and a traditional industrial city south of Akron. Its apartment inventory leans toward older walk-ups and mid-century complexes, while newer product clusters in Jackson and Plain townships near the Belden Village retail area.
Around Plain Township, North Canton, and nearby parts of Stark County, a building does not need to be perfect — we price in repairs and vacancy ourselves.
