Friendly Youngstown neighborhood with a tightknit local vibe
As punk-country music floods out of the front door—yes, punk country—East Side residents sit around the folding chairs and rickety benches lining the brick walls of Royal Oaks Bar and Grill, enjoying each other’s company with cold Pabst beers in hand. This gritty dive bar may appear a bit rough around the edges, but that’s the appeal, and it brings the residents of East Side together over and over again for live music and weekly barbeque specials. The music fades over East Side’s residential streets, where a mix of modest two-story houses and clusters of stretching oak and maple trees reside. “The people on the east side were once all steelworkers because they lived near the factories. The people who lived here were the core of the city,” says Realtor Debbie Mook with Klacik Real Estate, who has over 20 years of experience in Ohio real estate.
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.
Classic Midwestern architectural styles can be found across the East neighborhood of Youngstown.

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.
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.
