What is it like living in West Va?

Question

My husband and I are originally from the East( NY and OH), however, we have spent the last 22 years in the desert of Nevada and AZ. Now, we are retired and thinking about East and WV seems to be our focus. Any thoughts on that?

Thank you

Answer 1

There's no such place. They made it up to explain that big state sized hole.

Answer 2

i happen to live in west virgina. and its a pretty nice place. lots of trees and generally nice people.

Answer 3

West Virginia is very pretty, especially if you are planning on living near the mountains or on them. it is a beautiful place.

Answer 4

I moved to WV from Long Island, NY as a child, and I quickly learned to love the Appalachian Mountains.  I no longer live in WV, but someday my husband and I hope to retire there as well.

Coming from the desert, you will love the greenery.  WV is so lush and beautiful.

Some Positives:

Cost of living is low

Plenty of outdoor activities to do

Near many major interstates, no matter where you live in the state

Some Negatives:

Impossible to get a job (not a problem if you are a retiree)

Low population (could be a positive)

Have to go out of state to get to a major airport

.. Good luck!!
