With a history of abundant manufacturing decades behind it, the city of Warren is economically reinventing itself. "Warren has gone through a long depressive state, but it's turned the corner," says Heather Rucker, Councilwoman-at-Large for the city. "We have a lot of new businesses looking at us, and there's plenty of development coming." This investment and the low cost of living attract homebuyers to this seat of Trumbull County. "There's plenty to do out here that just didn't exist five to ten years ago," says Marcus Agee, a Realtor with Keller Williams Chervenic.
Warren rests along the scenic, winding Mahoning River.

Golf courses, riverwalks and fishing
The city's golf course, Old Avalon, is an 18-hole, par 71, with acres of surrounding foliage. The Riverwalk follows the Mahoning River for five miles and serves as a meeting spot for official and unofficial events. Other parks include athletic fields, pavilions and open stretches of manicured fields. "Mosquito Lake is a local favorite for hiking and fishing," says Sami Yacoub, a Realtor with William Zamarelli Realtors. "Admittedly, it's not a great name." The Trust for Public Land estimates that 20% of residents live within 10 minutes of a park.

Warren's cultural centers include the Trumbull Art Gallery, the National Packard Museum and the Harriet Taylor Upton House, the writer and activist's former home. Touring bands, plays and other live performances fill the stages at Robins Theatre and the W.D. Packard Music Hall. Many music fans have taken a pilgrimage to Dave Grohl Alley, where local artists have covered the street and brick walls with murals, sculptures, and other artistic messages of love to the Warren native. The Grand Resort is a luxury hotel and spa featuring four championship golf courses, seven bars and restaurants, a cigar lounge and an art museum: The Medici.

Mild traffic on Route 422
U.S. Route 422 cuts through the center of Warren, connecting to Youngstown, 16 miles southeast. "Traffic is very easy-going," says Yacoub. "Sometimes it'll get congested around the mall, but that's it." The Akron-Canton Airport carries hundreds of thousands of passengers annually on domestic flights to cities like Charlotte, Chicago, and Savannah. Western Reserve Transit Authority provides a bus service into Youngstown; otherwise, Warren lacks public transit.
Mom and pop restaurants downtown
Most local shoppers drive 8 miles southeast to Niles for the Eastwood Mall. One of the area's most popular areas for retail and franchise restaurants, the mall attracts Ohioans from the entire Youngstown-Warren area. Warren's mom-and-pop eateries are particularly important to residents. "The Italian food is some of the best on the East Coast," says Yacoub. "When you live here, you've got to hit up all the local restaurants—it's a must." Many of these spots exist in the area's downtown, which has begun encouraging pedestrian traffic by opening designated outdoor recreation areas in places like Courthouse Square.
