Osage sits along the Monongahela River with a quiet, close-knit feel and easy proximity to bigger-city energy in nearby Morgantown. Once part of the storied Scotts Run coal communities, it’s a place where neighbors still wave, porches get good use, and everyday errands are a short drive to shops and services in Granville and throughout Monongalia County.
Weekends often revolve around the river and trails. The Caperton and Mon River rail-trails stitch the valley together; walkers, runners, and cyclists can tap into miles of scenic route maintained by the Mon River Trails Conservancy. Just up the road, Mylan Park offers an aquatic center, ballfields, and year-round programming that make it a regional hub for recreation and events.
Families appreciate access to Monongalia County Schools, a district known for strong academics, career-technical options, and robust arts and athletics. Commuters benefit from the area’s dependable Mountain Line Transit routes connecting neighborhoods to downtown, WVU campuses, and major employment centers. Baseball fans catch summer games at the nearby ballpark, while history buffs explore the legacy of Scotts Run through community events and local exhibits.
