Champion Heights offers a friendly community and proximity to Warren
Champion Heights, called Champion by locals, is a small community just north of Warren. Residents of the two towns are deeply intertwined, sharing everything from parks and event spaces to shopping and dining. However, compared to Warren, Champion is a bit more rural, given its proximity to Ohio farmland and the expansive Mosquito Creek Lake. "Champion has been around forever. I'd say the school system draws in many people, plus they have the [Kent State University] Trumbull campus. Really, though, I think it's about community," says Dawn DeLorenzo, a Realtor with Century 21 Lakeside Realty and a lifetime Warren local. "This whole area has family roots that go back for generations, so even if people move away, they usually return. If you break down on the road, 10 people will help. It's just that kind of place."

A range of architecture near rural farmland
Most of Champion's residential areas are clustered in the center of the community, with homes around looping cul-de-sacs jutting off quiet, tree-shaded roads. On the outskirts, though, views change to the rolling countryside. "Champion is more affordable compared to somewhere like Howland. There's a lot of new properties with big acreage in the suburbs, nice condos, and you're surrounded by rural farmland," DeLorenzo says. "Since we've got employment development coming up, properties will increase in value." Architecture ranges from midcentury ranch-style homes and split-levels to modern New Traditional properties and spacious farmhouses. The median sale price for a single-family home is $190,000.

Outdoor recreation at both the river and lakeside
Packard Park, perched nearby along the Mahoning River, features a splash pad and playground, kayak launches, walking trails and a skate park. The nine holes at Northwood Golf Course have been open to the public since 1962. Champion is bordered to the northeast by Mosquito Creek Lake, one of Ohio's largest lakes, spanning nearly 7,000 acres. "A lot of people take their boats up there, and it's a great place just to spend the day fishing or swimming," DeLorenzo says.

Easy access to state routes and several airport options
Main roads for the community include routes 45 and 82. Route 45 runs directly into downtown Warren, 5 miles away. No public transportation operates in Champion, so residents are car-dependent. "We're about an hour from the Cleveland and Pittsburgh airports, plus the Akron airport, so we've got three choices," DeLorenzo says. "The traffic is so easy here. If the rush is at 5 o'clock, it's over 15 minutes later."
Nearby errand stops and locally owned businesses in downtown Warren
Mahoning Avenue is lined with strip malls and stand-alone locally owned restaurants such as Pueblo Viejo, which has been serving Mexican fare for years. On the south side of the community, the Champion Hills Plaza Shopping Center is a small retail plaza with stores like Big Lots and Dollar General as well as several fast-casual restaurants. Many Champion residents head into downtown Warren for shopping and dining. "It's filled with mom-and-pop shops, and there are amazing restaurants. They might not have the Michelin stars, but they have local five-star approval," DeLorenzo says. "There are a lot of cute local coffee shops, and the historic Sunrise Inn is super popular."

Year-round community events for the Warren area
Downtown Warren is a hot spot for year-round community events. "There's a new amphitheater by the Warren courthouse that's always hosting concerts, especially in the summer," DeLorenzo says. "Warren's downtown committee has worked really hard to make sure that there are events everyone can come and enjoy. They put on Fourth of July fireworks, winter festivals — they cater to it all."
The Summer Concert Series, in Historic Perkins, is a summertime highlight for Champion Nights residents.
