For ease of getting to and from Akron/Canton I would recommend the Northern and Western suburbs. Sewickley and Moon are very nice in the West. Sewickley has a very cute/quaint downtown area. Gibsonia, Pine Township and Cranberry are also very nice in the North/North Hills areas. Moon and Sewickley are 20 minutes from the city but have a fairly easy commute into the Downtown area for access to hospitals etc. when needed and you don't have to deal with the the daily hassle of the roads/ traffic situations that exist in some of the closer in neighborhoods where you generally also get much smaller homes with much smaller lots.
