Pursglove balances small-community ease with quick access to big amenities along the Monongahela River corridor. Just minutes from Morgantown, residents can step onto the scenic Mon River Rail-Trail for biking and jogging, cast a line in the river, or head to the limestone cliffs and overlooks of Coopers Rock State Forest for hiking and climbing. Recreation is a year-round highlight, anchored by the expansive facilities at Mylan Park, home to an aquatic center, outdoor fields, and community events that draw families from across the region.
Education is a strong suit. Students are served by Monongalia County Schools, while nearby West Virginia University fuels a dynamic arts, sports, and research scene that spills into local life with concerts, Division I games, and lifelong learning opportunities. Pursglove’s roots run deep in the historic Scotts Run coal communities; today, neighbors still gather through local initiatives like the Scotts Run Settlement House, reflecting a tradition of volunteerism and mutual support.
Set within Monongalia County, Pursglove offers a practical commute, diverse housing options, and a calm pace that’s hard to find so close to a major university town.
