Four States blends rural tranquility with quick access to the I‑79 corridor, placing everyday needs and weekend adventures within easy reach. Set in Marion County, this tight-knit community sits a short drive from Fairmont and Clarksburg, with an effortless commute to Morgantown for major employers, healthcare, and university amenities. Rolling hills, wooded hollows, and a coal-heritage story that inspired the town’s name give the area a sense of place that residents take pride in.
Outdoor time is easy to find. Step back in time at Pricketts Fort’s reconstructed frontier settlement and riverside trails at Prickett’s Fort State Park, overseen by the state park system, or chase waterfalls and rugged overlooks at the nearby Valley Falls State Park—both favorites for picnics, paddling, and photography. Families value the steady foundation provided by Marion County Schools, which serves local students with neighborhood elementary options and countywide programs; secondary choices such as North Marion High School and Fairmont Senior High School are a convenient drive. For higher education, Fairmont State University offers degree programs, cultural events, and Falcon athletics just up the road.
Housing here tends to be attainable, with room to spread out, while daily errands, youth sports, and community events are typically shared across the county. Whether you’re relocating for work along the interstate or seeking a quieter pace with city access, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers in Four States with a trusted local real estate pro.
