Warren Sherman Neighborhood Map

Warren Sherman is located south of Cherry Street between downtown Toledo and the Old Towne neighborhood. Warren Sherman was settled from two sides; from people moving away from the downtown in the south, and from people moving south from the Old Towne neighborhood, filling in the undeveloped land area separating Toledo from the West End. In the 1960s, Warren Sherman experienced a decline as families began moving to the suburbs, leaving many buildings vacant or blighted. Many of these homes were demolished to make way for the expanding St. Vincent’s Hospital, while many more were demolished simply because they were beyond repair.

Recently, Warren Sherman has undergone major revitalization, and today, it is a mixture of old and new. New constructions of housing developments have replaced the vacant lots left from the 1960s, while other areas of Warren Sherman contain older, restored homes dating back to the turn of the century. Beacon Place, one of the newer developments, offers apartments, townhouses, and large duplexes for rental. Warren Sherman has many rental options with its several apartment buildings, as well as several blocks of newer single family homes. More blocks of single family housing construction are currently in development. Residents of Warren Sherman are just a short walk from downtown Toledo, and enjoy the benefit of having St. Vincent Medical Center as a partner in preserving their neighborhood.

Commercial districts can be found lining nearby Monroe Street, Cherry Street, and in the downtown area. The Franklin-Bancroft Shopping Center is located in Warren Sherman, and the Swayne Field Plaza, on the corner of Monroe Street and Detroit Avenue, is nearby.
