Portage Lakes

Tucked into Summit County, Portage Lakes is a small Ohio community of about 6,200 residents and roughly 3,389 housing units. Just under two thirds of those units are owner-occupied, at 65.8 percent, reflecting a housing stock that skews toward homeownership rather than rental. Renters in the area pay a median gross rent of $1,125 per month. The median household income sits at $66,027, and residents enjoy relatively short trips to work, with an average commute of 18.5 minutes. That compact commute suggests many workers reach employment centers in the broader Akron metropolitan area without lengthy travel times. The community takes its name from the interconnected glacial lakes that define its geography, and much of the housing stock is oriented toward lakefront or lake-access living. With a modest total population spread across more than three thousand housing units, the area has a lower residential density than neighboring urban communities in Summit County.
