North Parkersburg stays connected to the city while having its own commercial hubs
North Parkersburg takes pride in being a multifaceted suburb inside its namesake manufacturing town. The expansive community sits along Parkersburg's borders, and residents have quick access to everyday conveniences. The neighborhood's main road is home to a diverse collection of stores, restaurants and businesses, and Vienna's busy commercial scene is just around the corner. "Housing is affordable with good space for your dollar. Plus, you can still make it to work in under 10 minutes," says Chris Cochrane, a 23-year local and real estate developer in the city. Several schools are within walking distance, and nearby recreational spaces keep neighbors from all over the city connected.
North Parkersburg is the perfect blend of suburbs and retail.

North-side streets have a wide range of home prices based on condition
North Parkersburg keeps people near Vienna's shopping and dining scene while offering lower to equivalent home prices. Investment properties range from $10,000 to $80,000, while move-in-ready homes range between $105,000 and $340,000. Bungalows and ranch-style houses are the most abundant options, but Cape Cods, split-levels, American Foursquares and Dutch Colonials also make the landscape. Concrete pathways and stairs cut through small grass lawns to reach front doors and porches. Towering trees and large shrubs fill some open spaces between homes, often providing shade for residents parking on the street or in off-street patches. Sidewalks primarily line busier thoroughfares.

Self-proclaimed as the oldest brewery in West Virginia, North End Tavern & Brewery is popular for its relaxed American fare and craft beers. Southern Craft Restaurant & Bar serves Cajun-inspired seafood plates, and neighbors share a drink and a slice at Hill House Pizza Pub, a local 21-plus watering hole. Under 2 miles away, Grand Central Mall bustles with shoppers from all over Parkersburg and Vienna. "Our mall is thriving, which is really nice to see since that's not the reality in a lot of other places," says Joseph Boggess, associate broker at Re/Max Properties of the Valley who's sold in the area before.

Tucked against the course, Worthington Baseball Fields hosts Little League games. Parkersburg City Park is under 2 miles away, where summer brings the opening of the city’s splash park and pool as well as weekly concerts. A playground, along with basketball, tennis and horseshoe courts, is also available. The park also hosts annual events, including PrideFest, the Mid-Ohio Valley Multi-cultural Festival and more.
