Burton. Quiet back roads, forested ridgelines, and clear mountain streams define daily life here, with the WV-7 corridor putting everyday essentials close at hand. Minutes to Hundred and Mannington, and a straightforward drive to county services in New Martinsville, the community balances elbow room with convenience. Outdoor time is practically built in—think fishing along local creeks, wildlife sightings at dawn, and autumn colors that seem to go on forever. When you’re craving game day energy or a wider slate of dining and arts, Morgantown is within a reasonable commute.
Families are served by Wetzel County Schools, with area students typically attending Long Drain School for early grades and then Hundred High School. Healthcare needs are covered nearby at WVU Medicine Wetzel County Hospital, and specialty care options expand further east and south. History lovers and trail seekers can make an easy day trip to Pricketts Fort State Park for costumed interpreters, river views, and miles of paths, while hunters and anglers find abundant public land within and around Wetzel County. Community events, Friday night lights, and local diners knit neighbors together, and the pace encourages porch conversations and unhurried weekends.
