Fifth Avenue is referred to as the crown jewel neighborhood of Youngstown.
The area was home to some of the most influential families of Youngstown’s glorious past
- captains of industry and retail.
Today, the neighborhood is home to a diverse mix of professionals,
scholars, independent business owners and retirees. The majority of
homeowners have lived in the neighborhood for many, many years.
Stores, banks, healthcare and medical facilities are within a
10 minute walk of the neighborhood. Other city assets such as
Youngstown State University, the downtown,
The Butler Institute of American Art,
McDonough Museum of Art and three city parks are within a scant two miles.
Types of Homes
|
Situated within the
Crandall Park – Fifth
Avenue Historic District, these homes
were built between 1913 and 1940 in an era which has become
known as Youngstown’s Golden Age.
Known for their ample
size and set on spacious, landscaped lots to reflect the wealth
and prosperity of the time, the high quality brick and stone
homes were and still are marvels to look at and are rarely
duplicated in today’s era. Most
of the 52 single-family homes are in the architecture styles of
English Revival, Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival,
Spanish Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Chateauesque or Norman.

Testimonials“The
people and community of Youngstown
were the primary reasons for returning to
Youngstown. We were excited to live within
walking distance to schools, parks and even golf. Finding a
beautiful, historic Fifth Avenue home in such great condition
and so affordable means we may never move again.”
Tyler Clark (Moved from Tucson, AZ)
“I live in my neighborhood and love it because of the wonderful, friendly, kind people
(I won't mention the parties!), and the beautifully built and stately homes…”
Maureen Fogarty
“Youngstown is a small town that offers the amenities of a big city, without the hustle and bustle. With the numerous restaurants, cultural institutions, shopping plazas, recreational areas, and entertainment venues, there's always something to do; an ideal location conveniently accessible to airports and highways. Our neighbors are friendly, kind and helpful; all which made our transition to the area a pleasant experience. We are proud to call Youngstown our new hometown.”
