New construction around The Mileground
Situated between downtown Morgantown and Cheat Lake, Mileground has new construction and quick access to shopping and dining. Locals refer to the neighborhood’s commercial zone as The Mileground, a busy road that leads to the Morgantown Municipal Airport. Major employers, restaurants and daily necessities are all within a 3-mile radius. Though parks and other community spaces sit outside the neighborhood, residents are closer to fishing, boating and swimming in Cheat Lake than most of the city.
Mileground is still developing and adding housing to accommodate the growth of the area.

Townhouses and New Traditionals near Suncrest Towne Centre
“The Mileground itself is a commercial strip, though there are neighborhoods surrounding it,” says Melissa Hornbeck, associate broker with Old Colony Realtors and the 2023 West Virginia Association Realtor of the Year. “There is new development — it’s a growing area.” Mileground has a wealth of new construction, with most clustered near Suncrest Towne Centre. These single-family, New Traditional builds often have four or five bedrooms, with the home itself occupying the majority of the lot. Buyers can expect to pay between $415,000 and $640,000. Townhouses are also abundant, arranged in rows that seem to extend out to the horizon. Two- and three-bedroom units typically selling from $200,000 to $265,000. Most have small driveways or parking spots out front.

The Mileground has a hub of car dealerships, small businesses and a handful of restaurants like Asian Bistro. The local favorite serves artfully presented pan-Asian cuisine, often with colorful florals adorning the plate. Residents here can also easily reach retailers and chain restaurants within Suncrest Towne Centre 2 miles west. The outdoor shopping plaza has a Kroger and an often-bustling Pies & Pints location, known for craft beer and inventive pizza toppings.

Proximity to I-68 attracts commuters
According to Hornbeck, Mileground attracts “anyone who is needing to commute, especially if you’re commuting east — it’s close to I-68 — and anyone who prefers to be close to the lake but doesn’t want to be in Cheat Lake.” Residents here are only about 2 miles from the city center, accessible via Route 119, also known as Mileground Road. Route 705 connects to major employers like Ruby Memorial Hospital and Mon Health Medical Center. People here drive to get around, as walkability and public transit is limited.
The Mileground neighborhood is home to wonderful views.
Ruby Memorial Hospital is just a few miles from the Mileground neighborhood.

Morgantown Municipal Airport within the neighborhood
Mileground encompasses the Morgantown Municipal Airport, which operates three round-trip flights each day between Washington D.C. and Pittsburgh. “It’s not very loud, there are some commercial flights and commuter flights, but it’s smaller,” Hornbeck says. Occasional noise may come up as the airport completes a runway extension project, expected to be completed between 2026 and 2027.
When in Mileground you are sure to see planes taking off and landing at the airport.
Mileground's housing is not as diverse as other surrounding neighborhoods.

Cheat Lake recreation a 5-mile drive
Park space is limited in Mileground, though residents are a short drive to hiking trails and playgrounds closer to the city center. Some of the neighborhood’s homes are only 1.5 miles from Marilla Park, an expansive recreational area with tennis and basketball courts, forested trails, a skate park and a playground. The city is currently implementing a new public pool, set to open in 2025 with water slides and a lazy river. The existing pool is still open during the summer 2024 season. The mixed-use Deckers Creek trail runs along the park’s border, a 19-mile stretch that eventually leads downtown.
Golf enthusiasts can tee off at The Pines Country Club, a membership-based course and pool 2 miles north of Mileground. Next door, Morgantown Miniature Golf & Chip-N-Putt offers imaginative obstacles and family-friendly fun between April and November.
Cheat Lake is just over a 5-mile drive from Mileground. The lakefront community can feel like a vacation destination, with water recreation and lively restaurants and bars.
