Ellenboro places you at the center of outdoor possibility and everyday convenience. Set along the US 50 corridor, it offers quick connections to Parkersburg, the county seat in Harrisville, and the rolling backroads of Ritchie County, while keeping a friendly, unhurried pace. Weekend plans practically make themselves: hike wooded ridgelines, pedal through historic rail tunnels, or paddle calm coves at North Bend Lake. The area’s signature playgrounds—North Bend State Park and the renowned North Bend Rail Trail—anchor life here, with year-round programs, trailheads, and scenic overlooks. When family or friends visit, the on-park North Bend Lodge makes getaways easy.
Parents appreciate that local schools are part of Ritchie County Schools, with Ritchie County High School right in town and a strong roster of academics, arts, and athletics. Everyday needs are covered close to home, and healthcare is supported by Ritchie Regional Health Center’s network, offering primary care and more within minutes. Community calendars fill with rail-trail runs, youth sports, and state-park events, giving residents plenty of ways to connect and explore.
Housing in Ellenboro spans tidy in-town homes and countryside properties, often with room for gardens, workshops, or a few backyard chickens. Whether you’re upsizing, rightsizing, or buying your first home, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a top local real estate professional who knows the market, listens to your goals, and helps you move with confidence—whether you’re selling or settling in.
