Hey friends next door, looking for some information to help assist with a possible move from PA to OH.  I work in the Lisbon area but have lived in PA all my life and know very little about the area.

Im looking to buy or build and have a few different school districts Id like to live in and have found some land in each. Im curious if anyone here knows any reputable builders in the area or if I end up buying a home any trustworthy real estate agents.  Any information would be great.

I know the market isnt the best, but I have to get out of my current house ASAP as my daughter will be starting school next fall and PA just doesnt look like a long term fit for my family.

The further Southeast in Ohio the better it gets. I don’t know much about Lisbon area, but if you start coming down South some more I can help you out.

Either way, move here, we are the better state, and if you get here soon, vote Blystone.

Best of wishes for your move.

Thanks, I appreciate the response. I'm trying to stay closer to Lisbon area unfortunately, part of my reason for moving is to get away from a 1 hour commute for the next 15 years.

I live east of Louisville, not far from the Columbiana County line.  I don't know if you want to live that far from Lisbon, but feel free to shoot me an IM and I'll give you my take on the area.

No problem!  My Mason lodge is in Homeworth, closer to Lisbon.  If you need any introductions made, just let me know.

I actually got hooked up with an agent yesterday. Both houses I was hoping to see have already accepted verbal offers. I'm hoping they will still give us a showing in hopes of submitting a backup offer.

Columbiana County housing market is still very hot from my casual observations. I don't have any hook-ups with realtors or builders in the area, but I will wish you good luck and provide a warm welcome.

Obviously avoid East Liverpool proper. The rest of the county is mostly good-ol-boy territory and is good-to-go.

Im looking at those three and Crestview Local.

We looked at a place we didnt end up liking in Canfield on Saturday. My wife loved the area (shes never been).  My agent tells me more inventory is coming after the holiday, so Im being patient and waiting for the right place.

Those are the best three schools districts in the area.  All are very safe.communities.  Canfield and Columbiana have more of a “town feel” where SRSD is more rural.  Furthermore,  Canfield and a Columbiana are the only two towns in the tri-county area that are gaining in population.  I live in Canfield and have little complaints - police, fire, schools are all competent with Canfield having a strong community that backs the schools.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask here or PM.  The homes in Canfield are moving very fast. Canfield is “hot” as its schools are ranked one of the highest in the state.  You’d like it here.

I can’t help you on Crestview.  But I do think Columbiana is the next “hot spot”.

If looking in Canfield, be cognizant of whether you're in the city or township (the township surrounds the city). Both are good-to-go, but in the City of Canfield you will pay additional taxes, zoning is more strict, and there's an ordinance against the recreational shooting of firearms (not like there are many big properties left where that's possible anyway). Recreational shooting is good-to-go in the township. The City of Canfield has its own police department, while Canfield Township is patrolled by the Mahoning County Sheriff's Office. The Canfield Fire Dept. covers both areas. A nice thing about Canfield is it's a buffer area between the rural areas to the west and south - as a result, you can get property "away" from the suburbs yet still be close to everything, including shopping and major routes (Rt. 11 north-south and Ohio Turnpike/76/80 east-west). You're also close to all kinds of terrain/recreation in the Canfield area: Lakes/Reservoirs, farmland, woods, hills (to the south in Columbiana County), parks, etc.

Columbiana: I agree with cancard on Columbiana being the next/current hot-spot town. The intersection of routes 7 and 14 there were many acres of farmland up until a decade ago. Now that intersection is flush with a golf course, shops, and housing developments. East and south from there is Amish/Mennonite territory intermingled with farms, trailer homes, and good-ol-boys. West of there is Salem - another small town with nice homes/acreage on the outskirts and older homes downtown. Salem, however, has a large number of illegal Guatemalans working the farms (no driver's licenses or auto insurance), and the inner part of town used to have a steady population of heroin addicts.

Crestview: Nice area south of Columbiana. Not much to else to say other than it's mostly farm country there and is a close-knit community.

Out of curiosity, what size home are you looking for and does property/lot size matter?

An added benefit to Columbiana is its close promixity to Pittsburgh (about 50 min).

How's the hunt going? I'm late to the show on this one...

I grew up in Canfield (township), still have family up there and we have our farm in Green Township.
Half my family went to Canfield and half went to South Range. Both still pretty good schools from what I can tell especially with the newer SR school that was built on 46 a few years back.
I know quite a few builders that are still around and have a friend that is a pretty well known realtor in Mahoning county and the surrounding area.

My now adult friends bought in Springfield Schools and are very optimistic about what it'll bring.

PM me if you want some numbers or advice

Inventory is low, prices are high. Ive lost out on two houses we placed bids on. Seen a lot of well photographed homes that looked atrocious in person. My wife loves Canfield and New Middletown areas. I check about 50 times a day for new inventory bc homes are going so fast.

We thought about building for a minute, however the materials price is so astronomical it wouldnt be feasible. Plus, rising interest rates really kill that prospect, too.

There's been a lot of turnaround with that home in regard to owners. After the elderly couple that owned it for many years died, it was purchased by some commie who hated the relative conservativeness of the community. He lasted a year. Then some other couple moved in and stayed a couple of years - don't know anything about them.

Well its impressive to get such personal info on something.

I have my agent poking around a home in Canfield right now thats gotten no interest because its a bit overpriced and needs some refreshing.  However, its on a nice lot that I havent found on other homes.

Looked at this yesterday. Wood siding was disintegrating and rotting apart. Inside is dated badly. I could deal with one, but both is too much $$$$$$ to fix. Definitely not worth the asking price. Property was gorgeous though.

I'm still looking in the following school districts

Canfield
Crestview
South Range
Poland
Springfield Local
Columbiana Exempted

I think the market is starting to shift a bit, so fingers crossed. Hopefully something pops up in the next couple months.

FYI if any of you guys are into shooting with NV, let me know. I coordinate all the Pittsburgh night meet ups for arfcommers

Do your kids play sports at all?

I don't know who in this thread lives and went to school in Canfield or had kids that went to Canfield but I'd love to hear their take on anything with sports if that is relevant to the OP.

I got two in Canfield.  Lacrosse, basketball, soccer, volleyball — ugh.    

They must feed these kids corn in Canfield because it’s very competitive.  Most kids in grade school and at the Jr High level get private lessons.  Ask me how I know.

Well its impressive to get such personal info on something.

I have my agent poking around a home in Canfield right now thats gotten no interest because its a bit overpriced and needs some refreshing.  However, its on a nice lot that I havent found on other homes.

It is crazy seeing all the very local talk here I don't live in Canfield though. I have however lived in this area for 37 years.

Looked at this yesterday. Wood siding was disintegrating and rotting apart. Inside is dated badly. I could deal with one, but both is too much $$$$$$ to fix. Definitely not worth the asking price. Property was gorgeous though.

I'm still looking in the following school districts

Canfield
Crestview
South Range
Poland
Springfield Local
Columbiana Exempted

I live outside of Canfield in Ellsworth. Went to Canfield.

I would also look at Western Reserve schools.  That covers Ellsworth and Berlin Center area.  If you need any info about Canfield, or the surrounding country areas, let me know. I'm also very well connected into the area, since my family has had a business in the greater Youngstown area for 103 years.


Sports in canfield are very well funded and heavily pushed. Have been since I was in High School (2000-2004) there.  Even before then our middle school and below football team, soccer team, hockey teams were well supported by the parents.

At the HS level, it's about as professional as it gets in OH.

Thanks for the response. I wasnt aware of Western Reserve schools, mostly because Im trying to reduce my commute to work if possible. Ill keep it on my searches though just in case a great deal pops up.

My wife likes Canfield and New Middletown areas best as of right now. Im looking anywhere with a good school though as I need out of PA asap.

Lisbon is a straight shot down rt.45 from Ellsworth / Western reserve area.  Quiet easy to get to, as I used to rely heavily on Evolution Ag down there for farm equipment parts.  

Most my employees live in the Columbiana county region actually.


The problem with New Middletown is no real way to get there. So you're going to have a longer commute, depending on where you're going in Lisbon.


Canfield is going to be about ~10 minute faster, due to the fact you can just hit Rt.11 south and be done.

I edited a bit with times.   Just beware of it's sort of 'hard' to get to Lisbon coming from certain directions. Being near Rt.11 is by far the fastest for commute and easiest.
