Niche User: It’s a super small town with lots of back roads. Mostly everyone is friendly. The have upgraded and built an amphitheater which is super nice. But other than that the town does not have anything for kids to do other than parks that get trashed.

Current Resident: Putnam County is the only county in West Virginia that is still growing. It's probably the best place to live in the state. It has good schools, low drug influence (there's still some, considering that this is West Virginia), and beautiful parks. It has some of the best schools in the state.... Read 57 reviews

Current Resident: Jefferson County, WV is a rural area where agriculture is valued and you run into familiar faces often. People are generally friendly to one another. The population is mostly caucasian. Although West Virginia has a negative reputation for its education, Jefferson County somehow manages to rise above the other counties in the state with its decent reputation. There is little crime that occurs around the county, which adds a sense of security while living in the area. Overall, Jefferson County is mediocre, but could be considered slightly above average compared to other West Virginia counties.... Read 55 reviews

Niche User: I have lived in this area my whole life and I would not want to live anywhere else. It is very unpopulated compared to bigger cities which means less traffic on the roads and a smaller number of people in public places, the mall, restaurants, etc. It really depends on what kind of person you are whether you would like living in this area or not. I see that this area will continue to flourish and be the hometown I have learned to love for a much longer time in the future. This is a great area to raise a family and live a simple life....

Niche User: My favorite thing about the city of Bridgeport is living in a community where all are welcome and treated like family. We have plenty of job opportunities, wonderful school systems, and lots of things to do. We bleed blue and gold for WVU, so if you live here being a mountaineer fan is part of the job.

Niche User: I have grown to love the area that I live in. However, my experience living in Martinsburg has not always been preferable for me. The neighborhood I live in I absolutely love. It is very quiet and there are a lot of friendly neighbors. The city of Martinsburg overall isn't a highly recommended area to live in, due to the fact that there are is a lot of drug use in that specific area, which is about 15 minutes from my residence. Heroin, opiates, cocaine, etc. is extremely common in the city. Recently there was a Heroin bust that consisted of arresting about 20 young individuals who had there whole lives ahead of them. I plan to make an impact on my community after graduating college with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology in Addictions. I want to get into the minds of those who struggle with addictions so I can help them start a new life and encourage others that are affected by drugs to as well. I have not always lived in Martinsburg, West Virginia. I have spent time exploring other places such as Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and York, Pennsylvania. Both were very beautiful areas, but the bottom line is you can find bad qualities in any area you go to, it is just up to you to stay away from the bad influences around you. Of course, some areas are much worse than others. Since I have experienced living in a better area I definitely don't see myself settling down in Martinsburg in the future. It will always be home and where I grew up, but there are definitely better places out there with much more opportunity and growth.... Read 91 reviews

Current Resident: This is an amazing county. Although things are very spaced out and stores are not as close as some would hope with home locations, the community out there is amazing. Although accidents do occur here, it is rare, and you hear more about achievements in the community than hardships since they are generally rare. The community is also extremely tight-nit, where all neighbors act alike a family. Whenever a family experiences a tragedy, such as a fire burning down their house, the community acts fast to help them out, and the local schools even hold fundraisers to help out the family. Overall it is an amazing place, and I would recommend most families to try living here.... Read 9 reviews

Current Resident: Mingo County has always been my home. This little small town may not seem like it can leave a big impact on you, but it can. Everybody knows everybody and no ones a stranger. When you come here, you learn about our history, how we do things around here, and how much fun it can be. The only downfall to this small town is how its treated. Not many people know about this little town and all the great opportunities it holds. My wish for this place is to be livelier with people coming in to come to a home away from home....

Parent: St. John's Episcopal School focuses on high academic standards but also creates a safe and loving environment for all children. My children have been attending for several years now and has have been attending St. John's since Preschool. They enjoy going to school. The faculty and staff are wonderful, and the leadership makes this school exceptional. St. John's implements technology so learning is actually fun. Students use Chromebooks, enjoy a STEM class, and have a media technology class. At the same time, children also learn traditional values, they still learn to write in cursive and learn their multiplication table. They are taught to love their neighbors through service projects and other community activities. St. John's also has a new playground and a sports field where children can play during recess. This school is truly an Incredible school, and I highly recommend it!... Read 19 reviews

Parent: Our family - parents and kids alike - have loved St. Benedict Catholic school. The faculty and staff are wonderful and work hard to keep focus on learning while keeping things fun. The teachers are warm and accessible with great communication - I know what is going on in the classroom, I know what my kiddos are learning and how they are doing, and if there are any issues it is easy to discuss with their teachers. The other families at the school are friendly and work together to support the school in clean up days and school events. We adore the school!... Read 11 reviews
