A historic steel town, reinvented

Suburb Industrial Diverse Affordable Golf

Farrell is a small western Pennsylvania city located right on the Ohio state line, positioned roughly fifteen miles from Youngstown and seventy-five miles from Pittsburgh. The city emerged around the turn of the 20th century as a steel town, and has since adapted its industrial sector to meet the changing demands of the modern world.

The landscape of the city is largely residential, and the rental market in Farrell includes an affordable mix of modest suburban-style houses and more recently-built apartments and townhomes. Several large shopping centers sit northeast of town in Hermitage, including the Shenango Valley Mall, as well as the local multiplex movie theater.
