Why Live in Five Points
Five Points, an older section of West Toledo, is characterized by its two five-way intersections and a mix of homes built primarily in the 1930s, with some dating back to the late 19th century. The neighborhood features narrow, gridded streets lined with sidewalks and mature maple trees, creating a walkable environment. The Ottawa River runs through the community, which is located just north of downtown Toledo. The area is family-oriented, with the West Toledo YMCA being a major attraction, offering a variety of programs including swimming, gymnastics, and family activities. The neighborhood is served by the Toledo City School District and Washington Local School District, with schools receiving average ratings.
Recreational opportunities abound with six parks, including Willys Park with its tennis courts, pool, and splashpad, and Asbury Park, which offers a baseball diamond, barbecue grill, and walking trails. The Toledo Firefighters Museum and the West Toledo Branch Library, known for its Tudor-style architecture, are notable landmarks. Shopping and dining options within Five Points include the Phoenix Earth Food Cooperative, Mancy’s Steakhouse, and Inky’s Italian Food.
Homes in Five Points are predominantly bungalow, traditional, and ranch-style, with land plots typically less than ¼ acre.
