Due to the debacle in Virginia, I (am almost certainly many more) will be moving to WV in the very near future. For employment reasons I will tied to commuting distance from the Clarksburg area. Any recommendations on locations, communities, etc. I would like to get a property with some land if possible. Thanks.

Look anywhere up and down the I79 corridor from Weston to Fairmont, and off the beaten path. Should be a ton of options for what you seek just in that area.

Oh, and welcome!

It depends on how far you want to drive. Doddridge and Barbour counties will have cheaper land. For your house avoid Clarksburg. There's lots of drugs and druggies. The Bridgeport/Shinnston area is a nice place to live.

Just avoid the downtown areas and you'll be fine. Fairmont has some really sketchy druggy and homeless issues. That place is flat out scary at night.

I was born and raised around Clarksburg, be careful with land purchase, a whole lotta fracking went on, look for fracking waste ponds etc. if you get property with a well, spend the money and get it thoroughly tested. Look at recent satellite images and there are websites that plot all the fracking locations.

Big difference going north of Clarksburg vs going south ( more rural) lemme know what town you looking in.

I live in a rural spot roughly between Fairmont/Farmington/Monongah.

With the exception of pretty much maintaining the road myself, and lack of internet, I love it. Shoot out the back yard, piss in the front yard. Pretty much do what ya want.

We too are inbound. Junior will be enrolled in Notre Dame HS this fall. Looking at the greater Harrison county area. I'll miss the Elk hunting, but not the liberal politics. Looking forward to the whitetail and turkey hunting.

I live in Lewis County. Not far from Clarksburg. Good bit of homes and land for sale there too. Plenty of recreational activities, and thousands of acres of public land for hunting.

Bridgeport area has grown leaps and bounds. Get over that way in the edge of Taylor County. Close to everything but relatively rural with nice access to everything in the Harrison metro area. Taxes are lower in Taylor County than they are in Harrison County as well.

Put an offer on a house south of Clarksburg yesterday. We’ll see how it goes.
