Spring hasn’t officially arrived in Ohio and Western Pennsylvania yet, but there is already a sense of the traditional season of renewal and refreshment. For many households, this means diving into spring cleaning—but if you're planning a move in the coming months, your spring cleaning routine can serve double duty as valuable pre-moving preparation.

Downtown/YSU Area:

Downtown Youngstown has experienced remarkable revitalization in recent years. Modern apartments in historic buildings, proximity to Youngstown State University, and a growing restaurant and entertainment scene make this area attractive to students and young professionals. The Covelli Centre, OH WOW! Children's Center, and various festivals bring energy to the downtown area year-round.

Recent investments in Federal Street have transformed the downtown corridor, with new dining options like V2 Wine Bar & Trattoria and Whistle & Keg drawing visitors from throughout the Mahoning Valley. The monthly First Friday events showcase local artists, musicians, and businesses, creating a vibrant community atmosphere.

For housing, renovated lofts in historic buildings like the Realty Tower and Erie Terminal offer modern amenities while preserving architectural character. Meanwhile, new housing developments provide fresh options for those wanting to be part of downtown's renaissance.

Moving Tip: Downtown apartment moves often involve elevators and limited parking. Our crews are experienced in navigating these challenges efficiently, and we recommend scheduling your move on weekdays to avoid event traffic at the Covelli Centre and downtown festivals.
