The small city of Niles is a suburban community in northeastern Ohio, between Youngstown and Warren. The city sits at the confluence of Mosquito Creek and the Mahoning River, which effectively split Niles into three parts. The west side is almost entirely residential, while the south side is home to many of the city’s industrial facilities and the east side features a mix of neighborhoods, restaurants, shops, and other small businesses. Eastwood Mall Complex dominates the north side, anchoring a large cluster of shopping centers. In the summertime, locals flock to see the Mahoning Valley Scrappers minor league baseball team play at Eastwood Field, also on the north end of town.
