East Side
Suburban Neighborhood in Youngstown, Ohio
Mahoning County 44506
Shotgun cottages, Four Squares and Craftsman-styles
Various architectural variations exist throughout the area, including Four Squares and Colonial-inspired homes. Most homes offer a two-story plan and an average 5,500-square-foot lot space. These residences provide enough room for a colorful flower plot in the front yard or a grassy patch for outdoor play, and sidewalks encourage residents to step out their door and head right into a leisurely stroll. Shotgun cottages are among the most notable designs, stretching backward behind narrow frames. Comparatively, Craftsman bungalows feature boxy dimensions with broad front porches. According to Mook, the housing market moves slowly due to the transience of long-standing residents. Most listings feature fixer-uppers or open lots between $10,000 and $80,000.

Neighborhood parks are a popular escape
Lincoln Park sits on the outskirts of the neighborhood, where residents can often be found taking their children to the play area, playing basketball or having a picnic. There is a large, leafy lawn and a stream that winds through thickets of forest. Residents like to walk along the stream or take their pups on a woodland walk.

Rayen Early College Middle scored a seven out of 10 for student progress. East High School scored a five out of 10 for student progress. The school offers college and career counseling throughout all four years of school to ensure student success.

Getting daily necessities around the East Side and beyond
Family Dollar is available on the neighborhood's east end for grocery needs, and Save A Lot is around 2 miles down the road. Most residents hop on the nearby Interstate 680 and head to Boardman for retail needs, where there are big box stores like Target, Hobby Lobby and Walmart. There are also bus stops throughout the area to connect residents throughout Youngstown and beyond. Medical necessities can be treated at Saint Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, about 2 miles away. Even on a day full of errands, as a resident of East Side, residents can look forward to returning home beneath the twisting arms of oaks—unless they make a stop at the bar first.

A community where neighbors feel like family
Straying from industry, downtown Youngstown has shifted its focus toward trendy restaurant businesses, museums and the local university. Although the factories have closed, the rich history of Youngstown’s earliest days remains in the generations that began and still reside in areas like East Side. Beneath the exterior of the historic neighborhood, there is a core community that is sturdy and deeply familiar with each other. East Side has the potential to feel like an extended family. “It’s a very social town. People are always together, and everybody knows everybody,” says Mook. Residents will likely pass a familiar face anywhere, whether it's a trip to the grocery store or a visit to Royal Oaks Bar and Grill. “They have live music all the time, and they’re always in the media. They were even on Bar Rescue,” says Mook, referring to the hit TV show from Paramount Network.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
