Write a review about Norton Tell people what you like or don't like about Norton…
Norton, Ohio is a Place for the Family to Grow 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I love living in Norton, Ohio for a million reasons, but the primary one is because it really is a beautiful community. The views are wonderful and the town keeps everything perfectly manicured and in shape. I love just driving through my community each night after work. It is a ...Read More great place for my family to settle and for my kids to grow up.
The best place to eat in all of Norton is definitely The Funky Truckeria. After eating here all other taco places will pale in comparison. While it is somewhat hidden in a strip mall, don't let the humble exterior fool you. The Funky Truckeria turns out traditional Mexican tacos that are beyond satisfying and highlights fresh and natural flavors.
While Norton is very self-sufficient and beautiful, it is also just a short drive away from the larger city of Akron, Ohio. The traffic is much lighter in Norton and the lifestyle is much more laid-back than in a larger city. But the proximity to Akron really gives people from Norton the best of both worlds. Read Less
