Unique This one word perfectly articulates the essence of Youngtown, a community of 6,200 with a distinct village feel, located in the midst of the thriving megalopolis of Phoenix, Arizona. Originally designed to be a retirement community, the Town boasts a lovely lake, seven parks, and a distinctively designed town center named Clubhouse Square.
Youngtown has morphed from a community of 80% post-55 residents to one of 80% young people. Families abound, and the Town is changing with the times. Leadership and management have boldly moved to rejuvenate - increasing landscape and introducing public art.
Youngtown’s commercial centers, built in the 1950-60s, have been losing their vitality. These are currently being refurbished with the aid of a newly-forged public/private partnership with the Town. The community is assuming a warm and funky ambience that reflects a savvy retrospective on southern European flair.
At the core of the Town’s new brand is the addition of black-and-white striped awnings on the facades of public and commercial buildings - visual identification with the brand “Uniquely Youngtown.”
Vibrant live/work areas along the main corridor of 111th Avenue are being incorporated into the Town’s visionary planning...
