Part suburb, part industrial south of The University of Toledo
One part residential and one part industrial, Scott Park is a burgeoning college neighborhood 5 miles west of Downtown Toledo. "It's not a suburb, but not an inner city," says Kenneth Powell, owner of I Do Brakes, a local business in Scott Park. "The college is right here, so there's a lot of diversity." South Scott Park's warehouses and distribution centers make up the heart of the area, but the University of Toledo's significant presence brings the neighborhood to life.
Downtown Toledo is a short drive from Scott Park.

Investors interested and homeowners abound
Although mainly homeowners live in Scott Park, it's also a hub for renters. "There are a lot of investors interested in student housing there," Realtor Justin Spann of Key Realty, who's sold in the area, says. "I'd definitely say The University of Toledo is a big factor in attracting people to the area." Investment properties range from $40,000 to $60,000. Homes in the $70,000 to $150,000 range come in ranch, bungalow and bi-level styles. Residences sit along very narrow but leafy streets surrounding a sizeable industrial hub at the neighborhood's center. Various houses of worship are also found throughout the community; Catholic and Protestant churches are interspersed, while the Buddhist Temple of Toledo sits in the northwest. The Toledo Muslim Community Center is located at the neighborhood's center.

A little over 2 miles north is Toledo's largest regional park, Ottawa Park, which holds amenities like an amphitheater, an ice-skating rink, a golf course and the Toledo Police Museum.

Lots of public transit and avenues heading to downtown

Dorr Street and Nebraska Avenue offer quick routes in Downtown Toledo, with the average commute being under 5 miles. U.S. State Route 24 is the closest major highway, which cuts into the neighborhood's southeastern portion. Many bus stops are strung along four-lane roads like Hill Avenue, North Westwood Avenue and North Byrne Road. For long-distance travel, Eugene F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport is 12 miles away.

Good eats at the plazas
"There are lots of small businesses and restaurants here," Powell says. "A lot of little plazas for local business owners." Netty's serves up scoops of ice cream and self-proclaims as selling the best chili dogs in town. This walk-up and drive-through establishment is only open from March to October. For international variety, residents can visit family-owned Little Asia, snack on bento boxes at Rice Blvd or enjoy specialties like the Birria Pizza at El Viejon Mexican Street Tacos. For a quick pick-me-up, there's BREW Coffee Bar next door to Rice Blvd. Inside the Five Brewing, also known as the Fieldhouse, is a fairly new addition to the neighborhood and doubles as a brewhouse and taproom. Various convenience stores keep a ready stock of small items. Still, residents drive around 2-1/2 miles outside the neighborhood to shop at Save A Lot.
