Smokey Hollow blends historic grit with fresh energy, set just steps from Youngstown’s university and downtown core. The neighborhood’s streets climb the hillside above Youngstown State University, making campus lectures, Penguins games, and cultural events an easy walk. Coffee shops, casual eats, and longtime favorites like MVR keep students, professors, and longtime residents mingling, while the riverfront at Wean Park and concerts at the Covelli Centre add big-night-out options minutes away.
Families appreciate access to the Youngstown City School District, and daily routines feel simple with frequent WRTA bus service connecting the Hollow to downtown offices, medical centers, and shopping. When it’s time to unwind, tree-lined paths and a beloved jogging loop await in nearby Wick Park, a green respite framed by turn-of-the-century homes.
Housing in Smokey Hollow spans a thoughtful mix: restored brick houses with porches built for neighborly chats, student-friendly apartments near campus, and newer townhomes and loft-style options. Community pride shows up in pocket gardens, block gatherings, and a calendar of university and civic events that keep the area buzzing through every season.
