Pleasant Valley pairs small-city ease with quick connections to work, school, and outdoor fun. Set along the Tygart Valley River and minutes from I-79, residents enjoy an easy commute to Fairmont and the wider Marion County area. Weekend plans come together fast: hike cascades and riverside trails at Valley Falls State Park, or step into living history and launch a kayak at Prickett’s Fort State Park. Both are close enough for after‑work sunsets yet expansive enough for full-day adventures.
Families appreciate access to Marion County Schools and nearby enrichment at Fairmont State University, which anchors the region’s arts, athletics, and continuing education calendar. Health care is equally convenient, with WVU Medicine’s Fairmont Medical Center providing emergency and specialty services just up the road. Cyclists and runners prize the Mon River Rail‑Trail system, reachable at Prickett’s Fort, for smooth miles along the water and connections to neighboring communities.
Housing options range from established neighborhoods with mature trees to newer builds near the I‑79 corridor, giving first-time buyers and move‑up households solid choices. Local dining spots, seasonal festivals, and riverfront events—often curated by the Marion County CVB—keep calendars full without the hassle of big‑city traffic. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating for work, Pleasant Valley offers a practical, outdoorsy lifestyle with amenities that matter. When it’s time to move, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with a great agent to make the process smooth from first showing to closing.
