Aerial View Description
The North Heights neighborhood is one of the City’s finest neighborhoods, as it offers

together a truly diverse group of people and architecture.
Recreational opportunities in the neighborhood include Crandall Park,
Northside Pool, Stambaugh Golf Course, and Noah’s Park. The Union Square Plaza offers shopping including a
grocery store, specialty stores, food establishments, and banking. Another neighborhood amenity is the

Types of Homes
There are approximately 450 homes in
the North Heights neighborhood, designed by architects with individual
details that set their appearance apart from most others in the city.
Many of the houses are brick and two stories, although the Cape Cod
style with its one-and-a-half stories are also popular. There
are many colonial revival and bungalow designs, and Madera Avenue has
a number of Tudor revivals with leaded casement windows. Most of
the other homes feature double-hung windows, many with leaded glass,
as well as full front porches. The largest of the homes are
immediately adjacent to Crandall Park, within a historic district, on
Tod Lane and Guadalupe Avenue. Two
car garages accompany a majority of the homes, and porte cocheres are
in evidence occasionally. The neighborhood predominantly
consists of single family homes, although the option of multi-family
and apartment living also exists. The typical single family home in
the neighborhood rests on a 50 x 150 lot.

Testimonials
"The beautiful architecture,
affordable homes, and proximity to retail, park, and cultural
amenities made my decision to choose this neighborhood as my home.
I can walk to YSU football games, as well as to the grocery store, and
it's only a 15 minute bicycle ride to Downtown. The wonderful
diversity of the people who live here is an added plus."
