Masontown puts small-town living within easy reach of big opportunities. Set in rolling hills of Preston County, the town is minutes from trailheads, trout streams, and scenic byways, while commutes to Morgantown and its university, hospitals, and tech employers are straightforward. Weekends often start on the Deckers Creek Trail, a rail-trail that climbs from Morgantown toward the Masontown area with waterfalls, wildflowers, and shady miles perfect for cycling or a family walk.
Families appreciate the tight-knit feel and practical conveniences. Students are served by Preston County Schools, with younger grades attending West Preston School in Reedsville and teens heading to Preston High School in Kingwood. Youth leagues, volunteer fire company events, and seasonal markets help neighbors connect, and everyday needs are covered by local shops, services, and larger options a short drive away.
Outdoor time is built into the lifestyle. Clifftop vistas and boulder-strewn trails at Coopers Rock State Forest are a quick trip, while the homestead-era museum at Arthurdale Heritage offers a fascinating look at local history. Garden lovers can wander the paths at the West Virginia Botanic Garden and anglers will find blue-ribbon water along nearby creeks and the Cheat River. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or just getting started, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a trusted local real estate professional who knows Masontown inside and out—making your next move smooth and successful.
