Central residential community near Franciscan University and downtown Steubenville
The 1920s Foursquare homes of LaBelle are enmeshed in the central Steubenville lifestyle.

Residents are less than a mile south of Franciscan University, giving the area a clear throughline between the Catholic university’s student body and the greater Steubenville community. Down Sunset Boulevard toward downtown, historic churches, antique shops, family restaurants and the city’s namesake fort await.
Foursquare and Craftsman-style homes
Early 20th-century properties are the most plentiful options in LaBelle, with houses in a range of conditions sitting along narrow, car-lined streets. American Foursquare and early Arts and Crafts-style homes are the most common options; rarer are bungalow-styled properties with large dormer windows. Shared elements across the neighborhood include porches set under front-gabled roofs with columns, and short staircases and retaining walls to set home entrances apart from the hills and crests of the lawns before them. Upkeep needs for these 1910s and 1920s homes vary, ranging from remodeled and restored homes with minimal needs to properties requiring extensive updates. Prices range from $4,000 to $20,000 for fixer-upper properties and $24,000 to $200,000 for turnkey homes.
