The North Side consists of the [[Brier Hill]], Crandall Park, [[North Heights]], and [[Wick Park Historic District|Wick Park]] neighborhoods and the northern section of the Riverbend Industrial Park. Brier Hill was considered one of the city's cultural hotbeds due to many [[Welsh Americans|Welsh]], [[Irish Americans|Irish]], [[Italian Americans|Italian]], and [[African American]] migrants settling in it, but primarily was once viewed as the city's "[[Little Italy]]" as reflected by the [[Brier Hill#Pizza|Brier Hill-style pizza]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Trolio |first1=Tony |title=Brier Hill USA : the sequel |date=2004 |publisher=Ciao Promotions |location=Poland, Ohio |isbn=1884687415 |page=203}}</ref> Each year, at the end of August, the Brier Hill Fest attracts thousands of visitors from [[Northeast Ohio]] and [[Western Pennsylvania]].{{sfn|Trolio|2004|p=203}}<ref>{{cite book |last1=Trolio |first1=Tony |title=Brier Hill, USA |date=2001 |publisher=Ciao Promotions |location=Poland, OH |isbn=9780936369235 |pages=14–15}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Linkon |first1=Sherry Lee |last2=Russo |first2=John |title=Steeltown U.S.A : work and memory in Youngstown |date=2002 |publisher=University Press of Kansas |location=Lawrence, Kan. |isbn=978-0-7006-1292-5 |pages=184–187}}</ref> The historic Crandall Park neighborhood was once home to the city's wealthiest families, and many of the mansions of industrial executives are still including in the Crandall Park-Fifth Avenue Historic District.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://youngstownohio.gov/sites/default/files/Ytown2010_chapter7_north.pdf |title=Chapter 7 - Planning Districts North Side District |publisher=Youngstown 2010 |access-date=November 23, 2022 }}</ref>

Youngstown's South Side is, and historically has been, the city's densest and most populous division, with numerous neighborhoods from each of the city's periods of expansion. The older neighborhoods in this area, namely Oak Hill, Erie, [[Fosterville|Warren]], and Lower Gibson, were among the earliest settled outside of Youngstown during the 19th century and were annexed by the city by 1910. Later neighborhoods such as [[Fosterville]], Newport, [[Lansingville]], Buckeye Plat, and Cottage Grove came into being as industry and population expanded throughout the first half of the 20th century, being annexed in 1929 from the remainder of Youngstown Township. The Pleasant Grove and [[Brownlee Woods]] neighborhoods further south were also annexed in 1929 from [[Boardman Township, Ohio|Boardman Township]]. The South Side shares [[Mill Creek Park]] with the West Side.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://youngstownohio.gov/sites/default/files/Ytown2010_chapter7_south.pdf |title=Chapter 7 - Planning Districts South Side District |publisher=Youngstown 2010 |access-date=November 23, 2022 }}</ref>

The East Side is the largest of the city's regions by area and consists of the East High, East Side, [[Hazelton (Youngstown, Ohio)|Hazelton]], Landsdowne, Lincoln Knolls, Scienceville and Sharon Line/McGuffey Heights communities. The neighborhoods on the East Side closest to downtown Youngstown were among the earliest developed in the city. However, much of the East Side is undeveloped land annexed in the 1950s as part of a zoning effort for future development that never occurred.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://youngstownohio.gov/sites/default/files/Ytown2010_chapter7_east.pdf |title=Chapter 7 - Planning Districts East Side District |publisher=Youngstown 2010 |access-date=November 23, 2022 }}</ref>

The neighborhoods of Belle Vista, Cornersburg, Garden District, Kirkmere, Rocky Ridge, and [[Schenley]] on the West Side were built from the 1930s until the 1950s progressing southward, apart from the early Steelton neighborhood and industrial Salt Springs neighborhood. The West Side shares [[Mill Creek Park]] with the South Side and lies southwest of the Mahoning River.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://youngstownohio.gov/sites/default/files/Ytown2010_chapter7_west.pdf |title=Chapter 7 - Planning Districts West Side District |publisher=Youngstown 2010 |access-date=November 23, 2022 }}</ref>
