Rent to own Homes in Youngstown, OH

Once a mighty steel-industry giant, Youngstown, Ohio, found itself a victim to changing national priorities and diminishing resources. A local industry collapse in 1977 led to the loss of a staggering 50,000 jobs--and nearly as many residents. The ones that remained, however, banded together, turned to other industries, and soon brought about a remarkable revival. The combination of new business development, cultural opportunities, and reduced crime rates led Forbes to recently rate this new Youngstown as one of the nation's top five cities for raising children.

Youngstown, OH is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $30,129 and a median rent of $638, the Youngstown, OH rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Youngstown, OH. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.

Top Reasons to Live in Youngstown OH

Housing Information Nearly 15% of all dwellings in Youngstown are unoccupied, particularly in the most urban neighborhoods. Rentals, which make up more than a third of the housing market, are especially lagging, with over 30% of available typically vacant. Home values are well-below state averages, with median sales prices averaging just $39,000. The upshot of all this is that there are few better places in the nation to find rent to own homes or owner-assisted financing.

Rulli Brothers Grocery Store is a prime example, still serving locals after 96 years. The revitalized downtown area has blossomed with small restaurants, coffee shops, and cafes, including Barleys, Coyocan, and Anthony's on the River. There's even a shop called Youngstown Nation that sells pro-city t-shirts.

Youngstown Industry and Employers The largest remaining industrial employer in the Youngstown area is General Motors. GM's Lordstown Assembly plant, one of the largest in America, is the home of the Chevrolet Cruze and employees over 4500 people. There are still steel manufacturing jobs as well, and Youngstown's own V&M Star Steel remains one of the city's largest employers.
