Given places you close to the best of small-town living and wide-open country. Set along WV Route 21 in Jackson County, it’s a quick hop to Ripley for errands and lakeside strolls at Krodel Park. Outdoor time is easy at Elk Fork Lake WMA, where anglers find quiet coves and families enjoy peaceful put-ins. Weekends often include a short drive to Cedar Lakes Conference Center for walking trails, disc golf, and year-round events. Commuters appreciate the simple regional reach—riverfront industry in Ravenswood, courthouse business in Spencer—with starry skies waiting back home.
Families are served by Jackson County Schools, with bus routes connecting Given to Ripley-area campuses and plenty of extracurriculars that bring neighbors together. Healthcare is close at hand at WVU Medicine Jackson General Hospital in Ripley, and community traditions—from youth sports to the county fair—fill the calendar without overwhelming your week. Housing ranges from acreage for a future garden or workshop to newer builds on quiet lanes, and the local market rewards buyers who value space, privacy, and easy access to everyday needs.
Whether you’re putting down roots or planning your next move, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top real estate agent who knows Given and can guide both buyers and sellers with confidence.
