Portage Lakes Ohio homes and neighborhoods are pretty much the only area that a family can buy a home on or near the water in Akron Ohio. It's a gorgeous and fun place to raise a family, as you can imagine living near a large lake with many other smaller connecting lakes and channels to boat the summer away and skate or snowmobile in the winter. Tie that in with many updated, great lakeside places to eat and drink, you have a very nice, laid back quality of life. The Portage Lakes Ohio homes are so varied, it boggles the imagination.
