Hazelton sits on the east side of Youngstown, where the Mahoning River and the city’s steel-town legacy shape everyday life. Tree-lined blocks of early-20th-century homes give the area a grounded, neighborly feel, while rapid access to downtown means concerts and hockey games at the Covelli Centre and open-air festivals at Wean Park are only minutes away. Commuters appreciate straightforward routes to employers around Mahoning County, and the city government keeps services and permits within easy reach.
Weekends often start outside: the trails, golf, and gardens of Mill Creek MetroParks are a short drive, and local history comes to life at the Youngstown Historical Center of Industry & Labor. Lifelong learners plug into the arts, lectures, and Division I sports at Youngstown State University, while neighborhood eateries and classic corner markets reflect Hazelton’s multicultural roots and close-knit identity shared with nearby Lincoln Knolls.
Families are served by the Youngstown City School District, with area students attending East High School. Free programs through the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County add after-school enrichment and technology access. Whether you’re updating a century home or searching for something move‑in ready, Hazelton offers authenticity, convenience, and room to grow. When it’s time to buy or sell here, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate expert who knows the neighborhood.
