Aerial View Description
The neighborhood’s namesake comes from
Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream & Yogurt,
voted one of the best ice cream parlors in the country by USA Today,
People Magazine and others. Opening in 1945, the original ice cream
stand is still located in the neighborhood.
The Handel’s neighborhood is surrounded with an array of mom-n-pop
establishments: flower shop, dentist office, hair salon, an Italian
restaurant that makes homemade pasta, just to name a few. The
pedestrian-friendly neighborhood is centrally located between
downtown and Boardman’s suburban shopping districts (both only ten
minutes away by bus or car). The neighborhood was established in the
1930’s and is shaded by mature trees.
Handel’s neighborhood offers a quiet, safe, diverse place with
beautifully crafted homes. And the best ice cream in the world just
down the block!
Types of Homes
The Handel’s neighborhood exemplifies most of the popular
styles of early 20th century residential architecture. The
housing types range from bungalows to American Foursquares
to Cape Cods. Architectural styles include Colonial Revival,
Arts and Crafts, Tudor Revival, and Mission. Most of the
lots are 50’ x 150’ and the majority have detached garages.
The properties are well-maintained and the houses exhibit
the craftsmanship traditionally associated with the period
of construction. Many of the interiors maintain original
architectural features such as wood moldings, built-ins,
leaded glass casement windows and French doors, giving these
houses charm and beauty seldom found in contemporary
construction - all for an affordable price.

Testimonials
"I love the neighborhood and the
neighbors. My house has a lot of character and charm and it's
very well built. I would have a hard time trying to duplicate
it for one in the suburbs."
Ann Booth, Handel's
"I never wanted to live in a
cookie-cutter development. I love the originality of our
neighborhood. I like to walk and look at the uniqueness of
each and every house. It is obvious the builders cared about
design and craftmanship. I know I couldn't afford to buy my
house, in this type of neighborhood, anywhere else in the country."
Julie Kobak, Handel's (Moved from Cleveland)

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.
