Ridgeview balances small-town ease with quick access to outdoor adventure and everyday convenience. Tucked along a scenic ridge in Boone County, it’s a quiet base camp with a practical commute to jobs, healthcare, and entertainment in Madison and the capital city of Charleston. Weekends often revolve around the landscape: ATV riders head for the Ivy Branch system of the Hatfield-McCoy Trails, hikers and birders explore the cool hollows of Kanawha State Forest, and families cool off at the county’s seasonal Water Ways Waterpark.
Families are served by Boone County Schools, with elementary options close by and high school placement typically at Scott or Sherman depending on address. Local athletics, band, and career-technical programs give students plenty of ways to plug in. Everyday needs are covered in nearby town centers, while larger retailers, dining, and arts venues are an easy drive away. In neighboring Whitesville, legacy and resilience are evident in community events and local history, adding texture to the area’s coalfield heritage.
Housing in Ridgeview ranges from modest starter homes to acreage with room for workshops, gardens, or side-by-sides—ideal for anyone who wants elbow room without sacrificing access to services.
