Morgantown, situated along the Monongahela River, combines college-town energy with mountain scenery. As the home of West Virginia University, the city offers both academic opportunities and small-town charm. The downtown area features independent shops and entertainment venues, including the Metropolitan Theatre, a restored historic landmark. Residents enjoy outdoor recreation on the city's rail-trails, at Core Arboretum, and throughout Hazel Ruby McQuain Riverfront Park. The Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system connects major areas of the city, including established neighborhoods like South Park with its historic architecture and the university-adjacent Sunnyside area.

Housing in Morgantown includes both historic properties and newer developments, particularly in the Suncrest area. One-bedroom apartments rent for an average of $861, while two-bedroom units average $1,078, with recent increases between 0.2% and 5.8%.
