Central City
Commercial sector welcomes newcomers
New establishments continue to open and draw in people living within walking distance. Casual spots like The Mocha House and Nova Coffee Co. are favorites for a morning pick-me-up. Modern Methods Brewing Company, Warren's oldest brewery, hosts trivia on Thursday nights and a night market every other month. West & Main has live music and a diverse menu, from ramen to poutine and tacos. Save A Lot is just north of Atlantic Street Northeast, and the Warren Flea and Farmers Market is on the other side of U.S. State Route 422. The indoor and outdoor market runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Tuesday and Saturday year-round. Central City is also right next door to Courthouse Square. "The whole downtown is built around the historic courthouse," says Michael Cline, a Realtor with Kelly Warren Associates who's lived in Trumbull County for 50 years. "It's big, and when I say it's big, I mean it's White House big." The Square hosts many community events, like the Full Spectrum Pride in the Valley Festival. Trumbull Art Gallery looks out onto The Square and features exhibits from local artists. Music lovers see live performances at the Robins Theatre, which frequently sells out. For more practical needs, the neighborhood has several convenience and supply stores, such as Circle K, Handyman Supply, Family Dollar and Firestone. Curated Vintage Goods makes for a relaxing Saturday afternoon sifting through antique finds.River Rock at the Amp all summer long
Less than 1 mile west is a leafy escape; Perkins Park is a popular spot for leisurely walks along the Mahoning River. Visitors can enjoy views of historic landmarks, use the playground and athletic fields or sit and reflect at the rose garden. The park also houses the Warren Community Amphitheatre, which has hosted the annual River Rock music festival for 15 years. Classic rock bands fill the park air every weekend, rain or shine, throughout the summer. Perkins Park is right across from the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library, a major community meeting point for all ages. Residents can access two community gardens closer to home: Central City Unity and The Giving Tree. For extra support and some community connection, The Salvation Army Warren Corp Community Center is at the base of the neighborhood and welcomes all.Private investment coming downtown
"There's been a lot of private investment into downtown," Cline says. "They've turned a lot of the older buildings into higher-end executive condos and apartments." Condos typically cost between $150,000 and $195,000. Cline shares that these renovations have "drawn young professionals right out of college to move back downtown," which has stimulated growth in the area's economy and industry. Outside Central City's immediate commercial sphere are minimal traditional and Craftsman dwellings, American Foursquares and bungalow-inspired workers' cottages. On average, detached properties range between $38,000 and $95,000.Local education and school choice in Central City
Students attend the Warren City School District. Willard School accepts kindergarten to eighth grade and has a C grade from Niche. Warren G. Harding High School receives a C-plus and lets students get a head start on their higher education through the state's College Credit Plus program. Students may also enroll in the local charter schools, such as the C-plus-rated Steam Academy of Warren for kindergarten to eighth grade or the unrated River Gate High School.Getting around Central City
Most people get around the neighborhood on foot. Cline says, "Many young professionals live downtown so they can walk to work and stay within walking distance of bars, restaurants and shopping." The city also has a bus system, and U.S. State Route 422 is a major thoroughfare. For longer trips, Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport is 11 miles east.Crime
The neighborhood has an overall CAP Index crime score of 8, with above-average scores for property and violent crime. However, the downtown area is regularly patrolled by the Warren Police Department, as its main building is within Central City. The Trumbull County Sherriff's Office is also nearby.
