Despard rewards everyday living with quick connections and easy comforts. Set in Harrison County just east of Clarksburg, this small community offers quiet streets and a short drive to major amenities. Commuters appreciate the fast access to employment centers, healthcare at the renowned United Hospital Center, and regional travel via the North Central West Virginia Airport. Weekend plans are simple, too: you’re minutes from ballgames, concerts, and festivals around Bridgeport, Nutter Fort, and Anmoore.
Outdoor time is close at hand. Families cool off and play at Veterans Memorial Park, a hub for pools, ballfields, and seasonal events. Sports tournaments and leagues are a regular draw at the Bridgeport Recreation Complex, while readers and remote workers find a welcoming spot—and a packed event calendar—at the Clarksburg-Harrison Public Library. For shopping, dining, and everyday errands, the region’s retail corridor includes the popular Meadowbrook Mall and a range of local eateries and services.
Students in Despard are served by Harrison County Schools, with nearby campuses such as Robert C. Byrd High School and Mountaineer Middle School providing academics, arts, and athletics. Whether you’re seeking a simple commute, reliable healthcare, or close-knit neighborhoods with room to grow, Despard delivers strong value and convenience.
