Riverside community near downtown Youngstown

Oak Hill is a lush, tree-lined community next to the Mahoning River. With an extensive park on one side and a busy city center on the other, it's a prime location to enjoy a small-town experience with all the perks of Youngstown amenities. “The community is very social here. Most people know each other, and it’s a place where you can say hi to your neighbors and rely on each other,” says Realtor Debbie Mook of Klacik Real Estate. Mook has over 20 years of experience selling real estate in the Youngstown area.

Established Craftsman-style homes

Single-family houses priced at less than $100,000 with brick and wood-paneled Craftsman-styles are common to the area. Many of these properties are older and more established; some sit on bigger lots for more yard space. Residents can stroll, jog or walk their dog around on one of the sidewalks that line both sides of the streets, and there are swathes of grassy green space, clusters of trees and a few older historic buildings that give the residence an old countryside charm.

Close to one of Youngstown’s favorite parks

The sprawling Mill Creek Park curves alongside the Oak Hill neighborhood. Known as Ohio's first park district, this waterfront park boasts over 2,000 acres of evergreen trees and steep hillsides. Whether you want to peruse the rich streams on 15 miles of hiking paths or enjoy some fishing and boating on Lake Glacier, Mill Creek Park is the primary recreational area for Oak Hill residents. It's home to the Fellows Riverside Garden, a botanical oasis with a landscape of colorful blossoms.

A stone’s throw from Mahoning Avenue

Mahoning Avenue is just north of Oak Hill and houses the nearest shopping options. Supply shops, convenience stores, professional services and creative studios can all be found on this road. After shopping, residents can take a meal break with a cheeseburger at Youngstown Maennerchor or head further west on the avenue for seafood at Little Lou's. There's also the 20 Federal Place shopping center across the river with various shops and a food court. The shopping center is in the middle of Downtown Youngstown, only a 5-minute drive from Oak Hill across the Mahoning River. This growing town offers many activities and attractions for locals, like the Roger & Gloria Jones Children's Center for Science & Technology and the Youngstown Foundation Amphitheatre. Sports fans flock to the Covelli Center, home to the Youngstown Phantoms hockey team, and a multipurpose arena for live concerts. Residents can celebrate the city's culture with festivals from the Simply Slavic Heritage Festival to the Mahoning Valley Irish Festival, all of which include music and locally made food.
