Moving to West Virginia -8 Best places to live in West Virginia
Did you know that West Virginia is the only state in the U.S. that is entirely within the Appalachian Mountain range?. West Virginia became a state in "1863" after seceding from Virginia during the American Civil War.
It is known for its beautiful landscapes, including the "Appalachian Mountains" and the "Monongahela National Forest". The state is also home to many outdoor recreational activities, such as hiking, fishing, and hunting. Today, it is known for its coal mining industry and for being the birthplace of the famous country singer, Brad Paisley.
In this video, we will be taking a look at some of the best places to live in the state, including information on "Home Prices", "Rents", and other important facts.

Surprized that Elkins dudn’t make the list-but Cheat and Morgantown did-both in same area.
I grew up in Parkersburg, 30 years ago the only good jobs required you to have a bachelor’s degree AND have an in at a chemical plant. Since I left the state has become an unemployed, junkies dream. Now days from what I’ve read , the town has been tearing down the buildings that made it reasonably cool to see.

I am WV born and after living in So Cal and NC returned here to live. Note: Huntington has had a lot of issues with illegal drug trade. They are working on cleaning it up but while my kids were at Marshall U (no mention in video?) saw it first hand. Morganton is a college town. Known as the number one party school in the US.....know that going in. thx

What i find very interesting about WV, is that you can ride ATVs/UTVs on the streets there. And the state has made a commitment to provide riding trails for them. That's a freedom they have, that most states don't have. If WV did away with their state income tax and went with a 5% sales tax. WV would become a Retirement state for sure. Being most retirees, retire to states without state income taxes. I'm planning a trip up there in the fall to ride my UTV and to see what all the fuss is about.

I grew up in WV. Your information on average rent and home prices in the Charleston area is wildly outdated - they’ve gone up considerably in the last couple of years. The use of generic stock videos scattered throughout the entire video is a bit cheesy. WV as a whole is a beautiful state, but in the cities such as Charleston and Huntington you still have issues with crime, drugs, and unemployment.
