A small rural pocket outside downtown Morgantown
Hidden among the trees along the Mason-Dixon Highway lies Cassville, a rural neighborhood near West Virginia University in downtown Morgantown, a shopping, dining, and local events hub. “This area appeals to those who want proximity to Morgantown without the college-town atmosphere. It’s also close to WVU Medicine, which is a significant draw for many people I work with,” says Kati Fadlevich, a real estate agent with White Diamond Realty LLC. Cassville is near several parks like the 766-acre Pedlar Wildlife Management Area and Mason Park, a 14.5-acre freshwater lake known for fishing and boating. The community is named after Lewis Cass, the U.S. Secretary of War under President Andrew Jackson.
Local students from First Ward can easily commute to West Virginia University.
Downtown Morgantown is home for the local Farmers Market.

New construction, cheaper taxes attract builders
Cassville is experiencing rapid growth. Once a pocket full of rural land, it has turned into a hotspot for new developments offering affordable taxes and new construction as an alternative to city life in Morgantown. Spacious lawns and long driveways define a community of modern townhomes in the $100,000-$200,000 range and single-family ranch-style homes priced between $200,000-$300,000.
“There’s plenty of land for builders to develop starter homes or townhomes in the $200,000 to $400,000 range. I also sell land to people who want to start from scratch,” says Fadlevich. The area also attracts Pennsylvania residents due to its proximity and the opportunity to purchase affordable land from prices in the $12,000-$45,000 range to build homes in their preferred style.
As Cassville grows, more new construction is popping up around the neighborhood.
