Maps Sign Stark and Summit County residents have a special little "Gem" right here in their own backyard. The MAPS AIR Museum is located on the West side of the grounds of the Akron-Canton Regional Airport, and is accessible from Massillon Rd, about 1 mile South of Greensburg Rd.

The Museum is totally run by volunteers and friends, (over 300 of them). Guided tours can be taken 6 days a week. One of the many very knowledgeable and friendly tour guides will show you all there is to see, in this massive collection of airplanes, equipment, and war memorabilia.

The Absorption Rate is the theoretical time it takes to clear existing inventory. The Active Listings are the number of current active listings. Listing sold per Month is the average number of unit sales per month over the last 3 months. Months of Supply is the absorption rate inventory derived by Supply/Demand. And last is the Odds of Selling within 90 days. A 5-6 month supply is considered balanced with roughly the same number of sellers as buyers. Higher numbers mean it is a buyers market, while less is a sellers market. North Canton has an overall 87% odds of selling within 87% and currently has a 2.6 months supply of inventory. Price ranges of $90,000-$119,999 sold out at 100%.
