Founded in the mid-1950s, Youngtown is the oldest master-planned community in the country.

A drive through the town reveals quiet streets, friendly neighbors and a tranquil lake surrounded by small but neatly-kept houses.

For many years, the community excluded residents under the age of 55. The restriction was lifted in 1988, and now approximately one-third of the population is 55 and under.
