Buyer Area Research

Area Overview

Baird Ave NE is located in Paris Township in Stark County, an area that Stark County describes as a basically rural community. Paris Township was organized in 1818 and occupies the southeastern portion of Stark County. The 2020 Census counted 5,743 residents in the township, while the 2020–2024 American Community Survey five-year estimate places the population at approximately 5,689.

The surrounding region includes the communities of Paris and Minerva, with Minerva providing additional shopping, schools, public services, parks, and community amenities.

Safety & Crime

Paris Township-specific annual crime-rate data was not identified in the reviewed public sources, so township-level crime statistics are not presented as though they describe this property. Stark County identifies the Alliance Law Director’s Office as responsible for prosecuting criminal matters arising in Paris Township and other communities in eastern Stark County.

County-level crime datasets are broader than the immediate property area and should be considered only as general regional context. Buyers seeking current, property-area information should consult local law-enforcement and county resources.

Schools & Education

The property is associated with the Minerva Local School District. Nearby schools listed for the property include Minerva Elementary School, Minerva Middle School, and Minerva High School. Current listing-area data places these schools approximately 5.6 miles, 5.7 miles, and 5.2 miles away respectively.

Nearby-school proximity does not by itself establish enrollment assignment. Buyers should confirm current attendance boundaries and eligibility directly with Minerva Local School District before relying on school information for a purchase decision.

Healthcare & Hospitals

Regional healthcare resources include Aultman Alliance Community Hospital in Alliance and Aultman Hospital in Canton. These facilities provide hospital and emergency-care resources within the broader Stark County area.

Exact travel distances and drive times from the property are not stated here because they were not independently verified for the parcel.

Housing Market History

For historical market context, the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s annual All-Transactions House Price Index for Stark County provides a consistent county-level series. The index uses 2000 as its base year and is not a dollar-value measure.

Transportation & Access

Paris Township is served by a rural road network that includes U.S. Route 30 and State Route 172. Stark County transportation planning documents identify the US 30 and SR 172 corridors as important routes in the Paris Township area.

The property itself provides gravel and on-site parking. Public-transit availability and parcel-specific driving times were not independently verified and are therefore not represented here.

Shopping & Everyday Services

Nearby Minerva provides a small-town commercial center with locally owned shops and restaurants, along with municipal departments serving water, sewer, streets, public safety, and other community needs. The Village of Minerva also maintains a downtown business area with retail and professional services.

Specific grocery, pharmacy, and other service locations should be confirmed for current availability before relying on them for regular household needs.

Parks & Recreation

Outdoor recreation is a major feature of the surrounding area. Stark Parks maintains countywide parks, trails, and natural-resource programs, while Minerva operates five public parks with facilities including playgrounds, walking areas, sports courts, baseball fields, disc golf, and other recreational amenities.

The property’s own three ponds and wooded acreage add private outdoor recreation opportunities directly on the land.

Utilities & Connectivity

The property has a private well and holding-tank sewer system, with electricity and natural gas listed as available. These are property-specific details and should be confirmed with the applicable providers and through buyer due diligence.

Minerva maintains municipal water and wastewater services within the village, but those municipal systems should not be treated as services to this parcel. Parcel-specific broadband and cellular performance were not independently verified.

Development & Planning

Stark County planning records document development activity within Paris Township. In June 2025, the Stark County Regional Planning Commission conditionally approved a site improvement plan for All American Scales & Calibration involving a 5,000-square-foot building in Paris Township along Lisbon Street/SR 172.

A separate Ohio Department of Natural Resources document dated February 24, 2026, identifies a development plan for a wellpad on parcel 10007389 in Paris Township. These projects involve other parcels and should not be interpreted as projects on or improvements to Baird Ave NE.
