A neighborhood rich in history and community
Walking through Historic Perkins in downtown Warren feels like stepping back in time. One of the oldest cities in the state, the community was founded in 1798 and soon became the seat of Trumbull County. Many of the original homes and buildings remain, some having been turned into businesses. "The small village slowly grew into a thriving town due to the booming industry and manufacturing sectors," says Meghan Reed, the Director of the Trumbull County Historical Society. The Mahoning River and Perkins Park overtake the western side of the community. This area is also home to Millionaires Row, where the "Who's Who" of industry, commerce and politics lived in stately mansions that lined the street during the 1800s. Today, the mansions are museums, stores and private residences. These landmark estates stand a few streets from government buildings, nonprofits and modest homes. "Historic Perkins is a very walkable community," says Jason Altobelli, a Realtor with Altobelli Real Estate who has sold 50-plus homes in this neighborhood. "You'll see kids at play and neighbors walking their dogs outdoors. People can easily get to the park and restaurants within five minutes." Narrow streets lined with trees and sidewalks wind throughout the neighborhood, showcasing homes, many in need of updating. Some of the front lawns are in better shape than others.

A restaurant with staying power
Locals can restock their kitchens and shop for home supplies at Giant Eagle or Save a Lot. Cafes and breweries, all within walking distance, around Courthouse Square. Those looking for a sugar rush may pick up a pastry at a local restaurant, The Mocha House. Since 1929, Sunrise Inn of Warren has served brews alongside Italian and American-style fare. "We've weathered a lot of things over the years, including COVID," says Dave Mahan, manager and co-owner of the restaurant. "I believe our longevity is due to consistency and good pricing." Sometimes, locals can hear music across the water from the neighborhood winery, CharBeany's Wine on the River. "Within the last five to seven years, the city has experienced a strong revitalization of businesses, as well as large-scale investments from national and state-wide developers," Reed says.

Vintage architecture across a century
Past the grandeur of Millionaires Row are modest houses and attached homes. Historic Perkins contains several homes dating back to the early 1900s. Victorian-style homes show ornamental brackets and trims. Colonial Revivals and American Foursquares with wide-set porches are easy to find in the neighborhood. There are also bungalow-inspired workers' cottages and minimal traditional homes. Those looking to build their dream home can purchase lots or a fixer-upper. Lots are modest, measuring less than ¼ acre, suitable for small gardens. Not all homes have garages, so residents park in their driveways or on the street. Prices range from $15,000 to $172,000. “Inventory is low,” Altobelli says. “We see things moving quickly.”
