Burlington sits at the crossroads of US 50 and WV 42 in Mineral County, where mountain ridges frame farmsteads and 19th‑century landmarks. The community’s signature event, the Old‑Fashioned Apple Harvest Festival, fills autumn with parades, craft booths, and pie contests. Outdoor time is easy to claim: trace cool airflows at the Ice Mountain Preserve, hike or golf at Cacapon Resort State Park, or boat and fish at Jennings Randolph Lake. Anglers find additional access through the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. For a memorable day trip, board the Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad in Romney and watch for bald eagles along the North Branch.
Daily conveniences sit close by in Keyser and the arts and healthcare options of Cumberland are an easy drive. Families are served by Mineral County Schools, with secondary enrollment typically zoned to Keyser or Frankfort high schools. Local heritage organizations and the Burlington United Methodist Family Services campus add depth to civic life, while permits and services are centralized through the Mineral County government. With quiet roads, quick regional connections, and year‑round recreation, Burlington rewards both first‑time buyers and long‑time homeowners.
