Description

The Lincoln Knolls neighborhood was a post war suburban style development located inside the city. In the early 1950’s the suburban style strip plaza known as the Lincoln Knolls Plaza flourished.

Today the plaza contains grocery stores, restaurants, and various other businesses which allows for convenient access to all kinds of shopping for neighborhood residents. The neighborhood still offers suburban living style, but with all of the conveniences of being within the city. Lincoln Knolls is located near the East Branch Public Library, Lincoln Park, many churches, and is only a ten minute drive from Youngstown State University.

Types of Homes

The homes in the center of the neighborhood are smaller post war homes mainly built after the 1950's. Most cases many of the homes are smaller Ranch, Cape Cod, and Bungalow style homes. The exterior parts of the neighborhood have larger homes with extended yards. The homes on the end of Rutledge and Mumford are larger European and Contemporary style homes. On Oak St Ext toward Jacobs Rd are Florida and Cape Cod style homes. Jacobs Rd contains several Colonial style homes.
