Whether on the first floor with direct access to the grounds or on upper levels with elevator service, each unit provides a comfortable living environment with the potential for customization to suit individual tastes.

Suburban comfort with urban conveniences
Fairlawn Heights offers a blend of suburban tranquility and easy access to urban amenities. The neighborhood is characterized by its spacious, tree-lined properties and a mix of architectural styles, creating a diverse and appealing residential area. While primarily residential, the surrounding area provides ample shopping and dining options within a short distance.
For everyday needs, several grocery options are available nearby. Marc's Stores, a large supermarket and pharmacy chain known for its eclectic selection and discount prices, is within walking distance. Giant Eagle Supermarket, offering a wide range of products at moderate prices, is also a short walk away. Whole Foods Market is about a 40-minute drive, providing organic and natural options.
The area boasts a variety of dining choices to suit different tastes and occasions. For casual fare, Skyway, an old-school eatery serving burgers and shakes since 1952, provides a nostalgic dining option within walking distance.
Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several retail options. Target, offering a wide range of home goods, clothing, and electronics, is just a short walk away. HomeGoods, known for its diverse selection of home decor and furnishings, is also within walking distance. For those seeking brand-name apparel at discount prices, Gabe's is a short drive from the condominium.
Outdoor recreation opportunities abound in the area. Croghan Park, about a mile away, features tennis courts, basketball courts, walking paths, and picnic areas. For nature lovers, Sand Run Metro Park, just a short drive away, offers extensive trails and opportunities for wildlife viewing.
The Fairlawn-Bath Branch Library, rated 4.6 out of 5, is about a 40-minute drive away, providing a valuable resource for book lovers and those seeking a quiet space for study or work.
Car-centric area with some public transit options
While Fairlawn Heights is primarily designed for car-based transportation, there are some public transit options available for residents. The nearest bus stop, located at W. Market St & Revere Rd, is about a 5-minute walk from Camelot Condominium. This stop is serviced by the West Market transit line, providing connections to other parts of the city.
For those who prefer driving, the condominium's location offers easy access to major roads. Interstate 77 runs near the neighborhood, facilitating quick commutes to downtown Akron and other parts of the region. The heated underground parking garage at Camelot, with two assigned spaces per unit, ensures that residents' vehicles are protected from the elements year-round.
While the area is somewhat bikeable, with a few dedicated bike lanes and paths, most errands and activities will likely require a car. The neighborhood's layout and distance from many amenities make walking a less practical option for daily tasks, though some nearby shopping and dining options are within walking distance.
For air travel, residents have access to two airports. Akron-Canton Regional Airport is about a 30-minute drive away, while Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport can be reached in approximately 50 minutes by car. These options provide convenient access for both domestic and international travel.
The METRO Regional Transit Authority operates bus services in the area, offering an alternative for those who prefer not to drive. However, given the suburban nature of Fairlawn Heights, having a car remains the most practical option for most residents, especially for accessing a wider range of amenities and services beyond the immediate neighborhood.
