Benwood Reviews
Rating 3 out of 5 3 reviews
Benwood is a small town, and a wonderful place to raise a family. The streets are clean, the people are friendly, and there are a lot of local resources for sustainability.
There is a halfway house moving in for recovering alcoholics and drug abusers.
I live in an old steel town.
