Cottage Grove - Youngstown, OH Area Guide

Situated less than three miles south of downtown Youngstown and Youngstown State University, Cottage Grove offers a variety of apartments for rent, many situated along tree-lined streets. Cottage Grove is bordered by Market Street to the west, South Avenue to the east, East Indianola Avenue to the north, and East Midlothian Boulevard to the south. The neighborhood is a mixture of residential and commercial, with a variety of shops and restaurants scattered throughout the neighborhood. Head about three blocks east of the neighborhood to Lake Newport, a large lake surrounded by green space. Be sure to visit Daffodil Meadow in the spring, a top destination to view the cheerful, yellow blooms. If you are looking for furniture for your new Youngstown apartment, be sure to visit Economy Furniture. After a day of shopping, stop by Boulevard Tavern for dinner -- especially for the Friday nigh fish fry. Newport Library doesn't just offer a wealth of books -- it is also home to Café Augustine, where you can enjoy a great cup of coffee.
