Small town living in Youngtown
What began as the first age-restricted retirement community in the nation, Youngtown now lives up to its namesake, with a blend of residents of all ages. Situated along the Agua Fria River and 20 miles from Phoenix, Youngtown is a quiet residential community with cozy lots and welcoming sidewalks under Phoenician blue skies. It is the smallest incorporated town in the state and one of the first communities to allow golf carts on public roads. With 7 parks in just 2 square miles, community events and clubs, and endless entertainment options less than 10 miles away, Youngtown residents get the best of both small-town living and suburban sprawl.
Arizona ranchers and Spanish-inspired residences
As one of the valley’s outer burbs that popped up in the 1950s, Youngtown is home to modest ranch-style homes with uniform-sized yards on sidewalk-lined streets. However, on the southern end of the community lies the Agua Fria Ranch subdivision. Here, a range of modern, Spanish-style homes with iconic stucco siding, tiled roofs and attached two-car garages. Most homeowners enjoy fenced-in backyards and spacious driveways, with median lot sizes around 6,098 square feet. The median list price for a single-family home in town hovers around $340,000, with prices ranging from $290,000 for a 1,173 square foot ranch with solar panels to $520,000 for a newly built, 2,486 square foot home in Agua Fria Ranch with an eat-in kitchen.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have lived in Youngtown for over 8 years now. It has been a great experience, overall. There is a neighborhood park where I sometimes go to play soccer there.
