Life in Morgantown, West Virginia

Morgantown pairs the energy of a major university city with the ease of a small town. It is consistently ranked among the best small metro areas in the country for quality of life. Home to West Virginia University, the city has a lively downtown and riverfront lined with restaurants, coffee shops, craft breweries, and farmers markets. Autumn Saturdays bring Big 12 football to Milan Puskar Stadium, and the WVU arts calendar offers concerts, Broadway tours, and performances year-round.

Outdoors, the Appalachian landscape starts right where your commute ends. You can hike to the sweeping overlook at Coopers Rock State Forest, boat or paddle Cheat Lake, bike miles of riverside rail-trails, or run world-class whitewater on the Cheat River. Ski resorts in the West Virginia highlands are an easy weekend trip.

Families enjoy a low cost of living, spacious homes, and a wide range of public and private schools. All of this is about 75 miles from Pittsburgh and about three hours from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, so big-city culture, pro sports, and international airports stay within easy reach.
