About Merriman

Hills

Merriman Hills, located between Highland Square and the Merriman Valley, is a residential and hillside Akron neighborhood with wooded slopes and winding streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Merriman Road corridor near Sand Run Parkway, where coffee counters, local pubs, and small storefronts meet trailhead energy. Mid-century ranches and tucked-away colonials sit back from the road, with pockets of apartments along the main routes. Sand Run Metro Park frames daily routines with creekside paths and overlooks. Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens adds a landmark sense of place just to the west. Swensons Drive-In and Mustard Seed Market & Cafe serve as familiar local anchors for a casual, lived-in rhythm.
