Affordable 4-Bed Ranch on a Level .16-Acre Lot in Bailey Center
What stands out first at 2954 Megan Circle is the quiet, level lot — a practical 0.16-acre parcel with 62 feet of frontage that makes yard care simple and everyday access effortless. This single-story ranch (1,366 SF) was built in 2004 and presents a clean, well-maintained layout that favors functional living: a generous living room, an eat-in kitchen, four bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. The single-level plan appeals to anyone seeking easy circulation and low-maintenance ownership.
Construction details are straightforward and durable: vinyl siding, an asphalt-shingle roof, forced-air heating and central air for year-round comfort, and a one-car attached garage with a driveway. Inside, rooms are sized for everyday living — bedrooms with adequate closet space, an eat-in kitchen for casual meals, and a living room sized to accommodate both family gatherings and quiet evenings. The property is described in good condition and ready for immediate occupancy, making it attractive to first-time buyers and investors alike.
Location is an understated asset. Nestled in Youngstown’s Bailey Center neighborhood, the home sits 0.2 miles from Coitsville-Hubbard Road for convenient access to transit routes and about 1.5 miles from Lincoln Knolls Plaza for routine shopping. Healthcare and education are close by — St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital and Youngstown State University are within a short drive — and recreational options such as Crandall Park and Mahoning Country Club are a few minutes away.
From an investment perspective, recent comparable sales in the neighborhood place the market between $90,000 and $100,000, with an estimated midpoint near $95,000 and potential rental income around $800–$900/month based on local comps. Taxes and assessments are modest. Buyers should still complete all standard due diligence: verify HVAC, roof and plumbing condition and confirm lot lines. With its single-level convenience, central air, and affordable price point, this ranch offers a practical, low-fuss opportunity for owner-occupiers and rental investors seeking stable, modest-growth neighborhoods in Youngstown.

A factual market snapshot around 2954 Megan Circle.
Local market indicators point to a buyer’s market with moderately available inventory. Within this pocket of Youngstown (Bailey Center), median sale prices sit around $95,000 and recent comparable sales over the past six months cluster between $90K–$100K. Inventory is roughly three months’ supply and homes average about 45 days on market — faster than deeper markets but slow enough that buyers retain negotiating leverage. One-year appreciation is essentially flat (+2%), while a longer five-year view shows modest growth (~10%), consistent with a market driven by affordability rather than rapid appreciation.
Single-family ranch homes in this price band typically attract first-time homebuyers and small-scale investors; rental comps suggest monthly rents in the $800–$900 range and a gross rental yield near 10.7% based on estimated rents. For buyers targeting cash-flow or entry-level ownership, current conditions are attractive: mortgage rates and financing packages aside, inventory and days-on-market give buyers room to make reasonable offers. Sellers should be prepared for market scrutiny on condition and system reports; buyers should prioritize inspection of major systems (HVAC, roof, plumbing) given the home’s 2004 construction date. Overall, this is a pragmatic opportunity in a stable, affordable neighborhood.
