Huntington sits where the Ohio and Guyandotte rivers meet at the western edge of the Appalachian foothills, giving the city a geography that shapes nearly everything about daily life here. As West Virginia's second-largest city, it draws much of its identity from Marshall University, a major employer and cultural force that anchors the east side of town. Healthcare also plays a significant role, with Cabell Huntington Hospital and Marshall's medical campus serving the broader region. The Port of Huntington Tri-State ranks as the second-busiest inland port in the country, reflecting the city's enduring ties to river commerce. Neighborhoods range from the walkable Downtown and Pullman Square corridor to the tree-lined streets of the Ritter Park Historic District and the arts-and-antiques character of Old Central City. Renters will find a broad mix of housing, from historic apartment communities and converted homes near campus to newer units close to medical facilities and the riverfront.
