Here's an overview of the best place to live in West Virginia, based not on some random internet research, but on the knowledge of a lifelong resident - ME. In this video, I cover a different place for everyone, from social butterflies to Homesteaders and busy families to retirees.
This is not the West Virginia you've heard horror stories about. This is a beautiful and vibrant place to live. From Morgantown, West Virginia, to Marion County to Glenville, we'll touch on many of the places and themes you've been wondering about.
Don't miss the Luxury WV property at the end courtesy of Heather Neill at Heritage Real Estate!
On this channel, I'll be sharing some of the best and worst parts about life in WV. Have a specific place you want me to take my camera and answer questions about? Let me know in the comments: where is it and what do you most want to know. Who knows, I may pick your question to answer in one of my videos.🙂

My boyfriend and I wanna move to WV and your videos are so helpful!! Thank you so much! Still have a lot to look into to decide where to start (need to rent apartment for year or two max) and then where to buy a home later once married. You sure live in a beautiful state with clearly amazing people!

Hi I'm 41 single receive SSDI and have been looking for my place in this world so to speak. I won't get into all my life details lol but I relocated to Alaska on 6/4/2020 from Oregon. It's been a dream of mine to live here for well over 16 years,i love the outdoors and nature. Fishing camping hiking hunting,all of it so Alaska is definitely amazing for that aspect of thing but im not so sure it's ment to be my forever place so I've been looking at other states and what they have to offer for a person in my life situation and I came across your other channel and watched a couple videos and followed a link to this one and was curious on what west virginia would have to offer a fella like myself... Do forgive me for the long drawn out post and if I should have asked my question on your other channel as well..lol thank you in advance for your time and any info that can be provided...

Timothy, it sounds like you could be very happy in WV. It's a lot like Alaska from everything I've heard... except warmer and with more regular hours of sunlight. For more specifics on how I can help you, feel free to call or text 681-404-2332

Hi Amanda, Thank you for your work. Just subbed your channel. my question is, is it a good time to check WV in February? I will be visiting US from Canada planning buy house. I love mountains!

@LivinginNorthCentralWV 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! Yes, February is a great time (as long as the weather doesn't stop you from getting around.) Prices in the winter are usually better since less people are buying. ☺️ I'm not a REALTOR anymore but feel free to reach out to my friends at Picket Fences and they can get you headed in the right direction. 🙂 Good luck!

I am thinking of retirement in the next few years. One place I am looking at is Prinston WV. One thing that attracts me is the proximity to Virginia Tech.

@zeke7142003 2 жыл бұрын

I grew up in Morgantown and left in 1986. I don't even recognize the place anymore. It's a great place to live, except for the roads.

As an upcoming early retiree with my sights firmly set on WV, I had a realty website open during this video... I searched Shinnston. What's the catch ? Why is it so... affordable ? I live in NYC, so my comprehension of $ values are a bit skewed I guess (3k/month rent will do that for you...)...I saw a NICE 3 bed, 2 bath 1700sq ft on 40 acres for $300k. I think I have that in cash somewhere in my apt, lol... (kidding, but you know what I mean... seems so little money for so much). I'm in love with WV and haven't even been there yet... 10:04... oh, oh, oh.... I see that star on the sides of buildings so often when browsing real estate in WV... what's with that ? Texas is the Lone Star state...

Hi Amanda and Katie. It would be awesome if you did some walking or driving tours of some of the towns in the area so we could see the local vibe. Also, how are people with masks in your area? Are people just ignoring any mandates or are they pretty draconian? Thank you so much.

@LivinginNorthCentralWV 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Karen! I (Amanda) am working through a bit of a transition as I go from Licensed Agent to marketer for Picket Fences Realty. Rest assured we are planning walking and Driving tours both, just as soon as I get things up and running. 😉

#questionoftheweek where can you get good public transportation we don’t have a car but want to move to WV

@anthonymignogno9430 2 жыл бұрын

Amanda or anyone reading this. I'm looking to get some indepth information about WV and different places to move to. I have places in mind but I would really like to be able to speak with someone to get a more personal detailed idea of places to look into. I would like to rent a small home to start in a rural area with places close by to get groceries etc. I just came from NH where I had the best of all worlds, private, quiet, great people and neighborhood, and close by to anything I needed. Looking for some help. Don't know to get in touch from here so need help with this also. Thanks

What is your views on Parkersburg?

@LivinginNorthCentralWV 3 жыл бұрын

That is a great question for Katie, she grew up there. I'll see what she says. :)

@katiestewart3406 3 жыл бұрын

Parkersburg is very spread out town. It lays on the banks of the Ohio River with Ohio being right across the river. It is a great place to raise a family. There are lots of opportunities with chemical plants and Manufacturing. The town has seen a bit of a decline in population over the last 15 years but it's still thrives in certain areas of town. My parents still live there currently and they are in retirement age. It really depends on what you're looking for. I would love to speak with you further. You can give me a call text or email. My information is below. 304-816-7544 or katie@pfrealty.net

looking for the best area for ATV folks

@LivinginNorthCentralWV 2 жыл бұрын

That could be anywhere in the state. What exactly do you like to do with your ATV? Race? Ride trails? ATVs are legal on the road and trails are everywhere. I'd suggest you look at North Central, just for convenience sake. But it your main concern is ATV you could look anywhere

It's quite likely you can, yes. We have many people in our area who are on SSI, it might be tight, but it's not impossible.

Hey, just saw this. I'm not a REALTOR anymore but you can go to Picket Fences website and filter your search from "for sale" to "for rent". Good luck with your search 🙂
