Our Take
Canton’s 44702 offers affordable, quiet living with solid schools and very low flood risk, but it has poor walkability and limited local amenities. The majority of residents rent, and the commute to Cleveland is over an hour. If you value low cost and a calm suburban setting, it can be a solid choice.
