At the southernmost border of Youngstown
lies Boulevard Park, a picturesque vintage neighborhood comprised of
Euclid and Rush Boulevards and a portion of Midlothian Boulevard.
Named for its lovely park-like setting and
authentic boulevards, mature trees form a canopy over the double
thoroughfares of Boulevard Park. Its medians are lined with lamp
posts and its signature Buckeye trees, creating a perfect backdrop for
a walk, jog or chat with a neighbor.
Boulevard Park consists of approximately
200 single family homes. The neighborhood is home to a large number of
professionals, as well as small business owners, white collar workers,
working class people, and retirees. Ease of living is enjoyed by
residents and enhanced by the central location: a grocery store,
pharmacy, bank, and filling station are just around the corner on
South Avenue, a 10 minute drive can take you to the cultural center of
downtown Youngstown or to various local and national retailer shops in
the suburb of Boardman. The freeway system can be accessed in a mere
1.6 miles. Long standing family owned businesses and institutions add
to the local character and are only minutes away.
Types of Homes
Boulevard Park is best known for its high quality brick houses, many
with original features intact. Situated on 50’ x 165’ city lots,
these houses offer unique architecture at a manageable size.
Although built over a span of three decades, the architecture blends
seamlessly from home to home. Types of houses located in
Boulevard Park include Craftsman style bungalows, Colonial Revival,
Foursquares, Dutch Colonial, Georgian Revival influence, Tudor style,
English style, and Cape Cods with sharp peaks of the Tudor influence.

Testimonials
"It's five minutes to everywhere!"
Carrie Neville, Boulevard Park
“My wife and I love the
neighborhood. As an urban planner, I was looking for a house in
an area with all the elements of a neotraditional neighborhood:
walkable, tree-lined streets, sidewalks, reasonable-sized lots with
garages pushed to the back of the property line, and houses that were
well-constructed and with character (not cookie-cutter). All
these things we’ve found living in Boulevard Park (not to mention the
great neighbors)!”
Patrick Howard, Boulevard Park (Moved from Philadelphia)
"Besides living in a great old
bungalow, I want every house in the neighborhood to be old. I
have that here in Boulevard Park. Nothing new to offend my
senses, and no McMansions!"
Tammy Mistovich, Boulevard Park

NOTE: A number of surrounding
communities have open enrollment in their school district. These
communities offer private school options, as well. This option
is a consideration while living in the City of Youngstown because
there is virtually no traffic congestion in the region.
Some schools on this list might offer
curriculum for children with special needs. Nevertheless,
additional schools do exist in the City and surrounding communities
that specialize in providing such services.
