Shotgun houses and condos
Single-family properties scarcely pop onto the market due to such a limited selection. A few shotgun-style homes that stretch backward on narrow lots can be found in east downtown. Some others feature National Folk architecture, known for plain vinyl exteriors and sparing details. That said, multifamily properties, such as condominiums and apartments, are the more popular style of living downtown since the majority of residents here are renters. The average home value in Downtown Youngstown is $109,202.

Sports at East High
As the epicenter of the city, it would make sense that young residents of downtown are served by the Youngstown City School District. They can start their academic journey just across the river at Williamson Elementary, rated C-minus on Niche. They may stay at this school until they finish eighth grade. From there, they’ll attend East High School, which also has a C-minus-rating on Niche. Home of the Golden Bears, this high school features a strong athletic program, with a variety of varsity robust, such as wrestling, basketball, bowling, cross country and football.
The Youngstown Foundation Amphitheater
Close to the Mahoning River, the Youngstown Foundation Amphitheater draws people from all over the community together for live concerts. Overlooking the Market Street bridge one way and downtown’s skyline the other, the grassy park encompassing the stage feels like the community’s shared front lawn.
Butler Institute of American Art, tucked into the Youngstown State University campus, channels the voices of America onto canvases. The museum is always free to the public, encouraging residents to partake in the cultural experience on any given day.

Phelps Street Gateway
The Phelps Street Gateway is a popular destination for a night out to eat. “They have string lights between the two buildings. It’s a narrow pedestrian-only street,” says Erica Winner-Sauceman, local real estate expert with Keller Williams Realty. “They have restaurants in between the building like V2 Wine Bar and Gringo’s Tacos and Taqueria, and you can dine outside on patios.” V2 Wine Bar and Trattoria offers sophisticated plates of familiar favorites and a long list of red and white wines.
As for day-to-day errands, Downtown Circle is a local one-stop shop with a small selection of grocery needs. However, more extensive grocery shopping might take folks a couple miles north to Save A Lot.

Oh Wow! and other attractions
Oh Wow!, a children's museum true to its name, offers an exciting and playful learning experience for youth. Hands-on exhibits encourage children to engage with science and technology, blending education and lighthearted fun. While the art and children’s museums cater to two particular tastes, the Arms Family Museum balances the playing field for history buffs. The early 1900s home is full of artifacts and period pieces, allowing visitors to step back in time. About a mile south, the DeYor Performing Arts Center hosts a variety of musical, dance and theater performances. Aside from all the art, Stambaugh Stadium fills up with spirited sports fans each athletic season.
