West Virginia Apartments

The state of West Virginia is a heavily mountainous region with diverse landscape. Renters moving here will likely enjoy a wide range of outdoor recreational opportunities such as hiking, fishing, whitewater rafting and mountain bike riding, as well as winter sports including skiing and snowboarding.

West Virginia is historically known for logging and coal mining industries with huge forests that produce oak, cherry and pine trees. The state is also a top coal-producer in the United States which is used to produce much of its electric energy.

The state is making an effort to attract more businesses by lowering the corporate tax rate. But currently West Virginia’s largest employers are retailers such as Wal-Mart and Kroger along with health care service providers.

With over 50,000 residents, Charleston is the West Virginia’s largest city and the state capital. The largest college in the state is West Virginia University, in Morgantown.

While renting here you may enjoy spending lots of time touring around the many scenic highways, hiking through state parks and visiting many landmarks. A few places we think you might want to check out include Stonewall Jackson Lake offers residents 82 miles of shoreline for boating, swimming and fishing. Oglebay Park in Wheeling has 1,500 acres with petting zoo, pools and museums. A whitewater rafting trip down the New or Gauley River will be a fun way to spend some time outside of your apartment. Grab a friend and take a Ghost Tours of Harpers Ferry.
