Housing in Romney includes farmhouses, Saltbox, Colonial, log cabins, and ranch-style homes, often on large plots ranging from half an acre to over two acres, with some properties featuring barns and storage sheds. Local events at Romney United Methodist Church, such as the Holiday Bazaar and Halloween Party, foster community spirit.
