Apartments in Youngstown, OH

“I moved to the Youngstown area in 2023 for graduate school. After three years of living at Woods of Liberty, I can confidently say I made an excellent decision. Not only are the units reasonably priced, but the property manager, Nicole, is very approachable, accommodating, pleasant, and clearly cares not just about the property, but the experience of the tenants. This is evidenced by the many improvements made even in the few years I've been here (carpeting replaced in stairwells, fresh paint, and a game room built). The pleasant demeanor is not limited to Nicole either, as maintenance and all other staff I have encountered have been polite and courteous as well.

The buildings themselves also require keys to enter, which is an obviously reassuring safety feature, and a locked mail room under constant surveillance goes a long way in preventing package theft. The property is in a quiet area, which is great for students. If you need a place to live in the Youngstown area, you could absolutely do worse than Woods of Liberty.”

“We've lived here for 2 years now and just renewed for a 3rd year. We absolutely love the location and scenery. I love feeling like I live away from everything, but really it's only a 5 minute drive away.

The staff has always been very nice. They seem very transparent and tell you everything up front. We applied and it seems like a somewhat stringent process. But I'm ok with that to make sure we get good neighbors (which we have). ?

When we moved in, apartments were going fast. We didn't even get to see the apartment before the day we signed the lease. Marisa promised I'd be happy with it, and she was right. Large rooms, decent carpet, big windows, clean place. The common areas (stairwell, small foyer) are kept clean weekly as well as good maintenance of the parking areas and lawns around the buildings.

Our neighbors have always been really nice on the rare occasion we see them. I was worried about noise but there must be good insulation or something because we rarely even hear them.

When we have maintenance requests, they are taken care of pretty quickly and well done. The washer and dryer aren't the greatest, but maintenance has been timely when called. My biggest complaint would be that the dryer seems to be old/weak as I usually have to run it twice to get a dry load (if it's a small load) or more if it's a larger load of clothes. I would love it if they'd get a newer model that just runs until it's dry. I live on the 3rd floor and the trips up and down the steps are a hassle. On the plus side, I love the convenience of a digital pay system for the washer and dryer. So there's that.

The only other comment I have is about the temp of the water. There are cold blasts at times in the shower, but that happens when you own a house too. Not much anyone can do about that.

The employees seem to really want to help out when they can, but do what they can to be considerate of everyone living there, not just 1 person.

This is only my 2nd renting experience, but I'm really very happy here and feel like I got lucky.”

“I've read some of the comments and some of the comments are appalling. Just because someone lives or works in housing does not define them as poor or ignorant. People have their reasons for their situations. Who is anyone to judge. Your living situation is what you make of it. I've live in housing for 11 years and this has helped me to makes some life changing decisions to better my life. The housing authority has programs to help you in every way to sustain your life on your own. I see it as a stepping stone. Not every person is poor or ignorant that lives in housing. There are some great people working for YMHA”
