Morgandale offers an industrial suburban setting next to Warren
Home to approximately 1,400 residents, Morgandale is a small community on the outskirts of Warren. It offers a more secluded lifestyle close to a flourishing city center. “Warren has really grown. We’re getting more businesses; downtown is picking up. It’s close to Cleveland and Pittsburgh. It’s a great place to live," says Marla Bluedorn, who works with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Stouffer Realty and has about five years of experience in the area. Morgandale is only 3 miles from Warren's historic shopping hub and more city attractions.
