A former industrial town redefines itself
Situated between Youngstown and Warren, Niles was once an important piece of Ohio's manufacturing history. However, since the industrial crash of the 1970s, this quiet town has pivoted toward hosting most of the area's retail. However, the ties that often bond an industrial town are still there. "It's a small, strong community," says Marcus Agee, Realtor with Keller Williams Chervenic Realty. "There's not a lot of in-and-outers there. When people move in, they tend to stay." These close social bonds and approachable real estate prices have attracted many residents. "I was used to the city, so I was apprehensive about moving here," says Kathy Chromchak, a Realtor with BHHS Stouffer Realty. "But there's not a lot of traffic, the housing's affordable and the people are friendly."
The Niles neighborhood is conveniently located 15 minutes away from downtown Youngstown.
There are many retail stores provided for those living and visiting the Niles neighborhood.

Historic 19th-century homes
Median housing prices in Niles are in the mid-$100,000s, below the national median in the low-$400,000s. Historic homes from as early as the 1800s cluster around the center of town. Some of the area's newest homes fill the neighborhoods surrounding Stevens Park. Mid-century-inspired split-levels and ranch-style houses are in the eastern part of town, outside McKinley Heights .
Local retailers and restaurants are among the largest job creators in Niles, particularly in the northern stretches of town, where the shopping district is. "The Eastwood Mall complex has brought in a lot of business," says Sami Yacoub, Realtor at William Zamarelli Realtors. "It's mostly chains, but it's flourishing out there." Agee says that locals frequently commute to Warren or Youngstown for careers in manufacturing and hospital work. Trumbull Memorial and Mercy Health are the nearest hospitals, employing thousands of people.

A central shopping district for the Youngstown-Warren area
The area's shopping is centered around the Eastwood Mall. Opened in 1969, Eastwood serves as a major shopping and restaurant source for Niles and the surrounding cities.

This northern area has a high concentration of chain restaurants and franchise retail.
