Historic homes in many styles
North Heights has an eclectic sense of style, with a wide variety of designs to draw in visitors and potential residents. Tudor and Colonial homes stand side-by-side with more contemporary designs like American Foursquare, Bungalow and Cape Cod. "It's a historic area, and they keep up with it," says Erica Winner-Sauceman, who's served the area with Keller Williams since 2020. "You have old charm and custom-built homes. Some have three fireplaces or old boiler systems: pieces of history you rarely see anymore." Well-worn sidewalks crisscross residential zones beneath the shade of mature oak and birch trees. Lawns are standard, though they grow increasingly modest in the southern reaches of the neighborhood. The area's historic nature means that many homes will require some level of renovation, which means anything from a new coat of paint to a new roof! Prices range from the low $20,000s for centennial homes needing serious restoration to the mid $300,000s for well-maintained estates on vast lawns.
Colonial style homes in North Heights can be found on secluded wooded lots.

Sledding at Crandall Park
Found in the heart of the North Heights historic district, Crandall Park is nearly 60 acres of greenery that includes playgrounds, tennis courts, picnic pavilions and wide open spaces of grass for games of tag, sledding in the winter or just a little daydreaming. Originally built in 1924, Rayen Stadium has a proud history of hosting varsity and college football for local high schools and Youngstown State University. Today, it's the home base of the East High School Golden Bears and the Chaney High School Cowboys. The Henry Stambaugh Golf Course offers a 9-hole, 36-par course with a view of the verdant foliage of neighboring Churchill.
