Brooke County Reviews
Rating 3.25 out of 5 16 reviews
Brooke county offers a wide variety of local amenities such as work, food and fun. Most locations are close and localized with minimum car travel time. If you are located down town there are many activities and restaurants to visit in just a short walking distance. In this county you will find friendly familiar faces that you may come to call friends. The wide range of activities from dining out to trail walking is what makes this a location to want to visit and to live which is why I came back after being gone for only months.
What I like about Brooke County is that its a lovable and friendly county. Brooke County has been in West Virginia since 1796 in honor of Robert Brooke, Governor of Virginia. The families that live in Brooke County are close with other families that live in the community. The schooling in Brooke County is great for your children. The teachers love to teach and help the students. Your children will learn a lot of things in Brooke County schools. What I would like to see change in Brooke County is the trash that people throw out of their cars. I would like to see people helping clean up the community by picking up trash alongside the roads.
I like living here but there is nothing around the area anymore. You always have to travel to either he Highlands, Steubenville, Washington or Robinson to actually do anything. There are shops and restaurants but sometimes you get tired of seeing the same old things. But other than having to travel other places to do things, it is a great place to raise a family when the drug problem isn't high.
