Small town living in Youngtown

What began as the first age-restricted retirement community in the nation, Youngtown now lives up to its namesake, with a blend of residents of all ages. Situated along the Agua Fria River and 20 miles from Phoenix, Youngtown is a quiet residential community with cozy lots and welcoming sidewalks under Phoenician blue skies. It is the smallest incorporated town in the state and one of the first communities to allow golf carts on public roads. With 7 parks in just 2 square miles, community events and clubs, and endless entertainment options less than 10 miles away, Youngtown residents get the best of both small-town living and suburban sprawl.

Arizona ranchers and Spanish-inspired residences

As one of the valley’s outer burbs that popped up in the 1950s, Youngtown is home to modest ranch-style homes with uniform-sized yards on sidewalk-lined streets. However, on the southern end of the community lies the Agua Fria Ranch subdivision. Here, a range of modern, Spanish-style homes with iconic stucco siding, tiled roofs and attached two-car garages. Most homeowners enjoy fenced-in backyards and spacious driveways, with median lot sizes around 6,098 square feet. The median list price for a single-family home in town hovers around $340,000, with prices ranging from $290,000 for a 1,173 square foot ranch with solar panels to $520,000 for a newly built, 2,486 square foot home in Agua Fria Ranch with an eat-in kitchen.

Community events at Clubhouse Square

Youngtown may be small, but its town spirit is big, as seen through various community events and clubs. Youngtown’s Winter Miracle Event may be the most popular, where locals gather at Clubhouse Square for a tree lighting ceremony and Santa’s arrival every December. The Clubhouse is also the gathering place for town-led clubs, such as the Craft Corner and Wood Carving Class.

Commutes along US Route 60

The community is bordered by North 11th Avenue to the east, with bus stops scattered along the road. As a small, compact community, locals can easily walk, bike, or cart around to nearby shops and parks. Residents are also close to the 101 and 303 freeways and US Route 60. Banner Boswell Medical Center and Luke Air Force Base are close by for commuters.
