Set just south of Parkersburg and a short drive from Vienna and Marietta, it’s ideal for commuters who still crave open skies, tree-lined backroads, and weekend river views. Outdoor time comes naturally here—strolls along the water, birdwatching near Blennerhassett Channel, and seasonal excursions to the storied Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park are part of local life.
Families appreciate the strong public school network through Wood County Schools, with a range of academic, arts, and athletics programs. Everyday needs are covered close by, and expanded care is minutes away at WVU Medicine Camden Clark Medical Center in downtown Parkersburg.

Housing options span tidy subdivisions and acreage properties, giving first-time buyers and move-up households room to grow.
