Amvets is a small residential sector of the City of Warren, just west of the city center. Warren was originally an extension of Connecticut after the Revolutionary War, known as the Connecticut Western Reserve. After part of the reserve was purchased and renamed Warren toward the end of the 18th century, the city took some time before it started to bloom in the 1900s. The success of the early 20th-century steel industry facilitated a thriving economy, but it also led to the community's decline when it collapsed in the 1970s. Nowadays, Warren is growing in a positive direction with city-wide and federal efforts. Organizations like the Warren Redevelopment and Planning Organization foster community growth by investing in local businesses and offering community incentive programs. And the Federal Government recently allocated funds to the city under the American Recovery Plan. "There's a lot of development happening in the heart of Warren," says Realtor Dominic Mararri of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services. Mararri has sold homes in the area for over 8 years and is an active member of local community organizations, like the Warren Family Mission. "There's a lot of great people and businesses. I love it here."
Century-old homes
"This is a great area to invest in," Mararri says. "You get a lot of bang for your buck, and you can really stretch your dollar." Several houses in Amvets are over 100 years old, with build dates as early as 1915. Development continued throughout the 20th century, so ample homes are from the 1930s, '40s and '50s. Because several houses are older, many need repairs and updates, costing between $30,000 and $100,000. Buyers will find craftsman bungalows with low-pitched roofs and wide front porches among traditional foursquare homes. On average, homes have about 1,200 square feet with three bedrooms. Roads like York Ave maintain their original red-brick structure and have yet to be paved over, lined with sidewalks and deciduous trees.

Hot dogs and barbecue
Along West Market Street and Parkman Road are several spots where locals grab a drink or a bite to eat. The giant, rotating hot dog atop The Original Hot Dog Shoppe on Market Street has been a community draw since 1946. Inside, locals grab a booth or bar seat and order a loaded dog topped with ingredients like chili and onions. Other menu items include burgers, fries and Italian sausage. Locals also head to Cockeye BBQ for smoked barbecue and home-down sides like macaroni and cheese and cheesy grits. When locals need to grocery shop, the Sparkle Market in Trumbull Plaza is just under 2 miles up the road. The nearby Red and White Supermarket has a few grocery essentials, snacks and drinks for a quick run.

Perkins Park is the community draw
Community members gather at Perkins Park, a 40-acre outdoor space just over the banks of the Mahoning River. The city initially purchased Perkins as a 1930s estate, and today, it is a stronghold of community athletics, with several baseball fields and sand volleyball courts. Other amenities include a small playground and a five-mile riverwalk for locals to enjoy a stroll or bike ride by the water. The riverwalk leads to Memorial Park, featuring statues that honor veterans of World War II. Locals also walk over to Quinby Park for additional time outdoors. The park features basketball courts, a playground and a small pond.
