Squire draws people who value mountain quiet and quick access to adventure. Set in McDowell County, it’s a short drive along WV-16 to War and the county seat in Welch, with regional shopping and employers in Bluefield. ATV riders tap into the Hatfield-McCoy Trails via the Pocahontas and Indian Ridge systems, with trailheads in nearby communities like Bramwell and Keystone. For slower days, the Berwind Lake Wildlife Management Area offers fishing and peaceful picnic spots, while Panther State Forest delivers shady hikes, camping, and mountain streams. The region’s coal heritage is never far away, highlighted by the National Coal Heritage Area and local museums and murals.
Families appreciate that students are served by McDowell County Schools, with secondary options that include Mount View High and River View High. Healthcare needs are met at Welch Community Hospital, and continuing education is within reach at Bluefield University. Housing here ranges from hillside cabins and small in-town homes to wooded acreage, often at price points that make first-time ownership or a second-home getaway attainable.
Whether you’re relocating for the trails, the quiet pace, or to be closer to family roots, Squire offers room to breathe and explore. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top real estate professional who knows the local market inside and out.
