Saint Clairsville has small-town charm and suburban amenities
Saint Clairsville is a small town in the heart of the Ohio River Valley, one hour outside Pittsburgh. Thanks to its quaint downtown and access to the region's only shopping mall, it's one of the most expensive communities in Belmont County. "It's a very sought-after area," says Carol Ann Merritt, a Realtor with Carol Goff & Associates who has several years of experience in the city. She adds that the town is known for good schools, safety and having businesses that are both big and small. "It's basically everything you could ask for in a community without it being large, large, large," she says.
Many homes hide up on the hills of Saint Clairsville when you first drive into town.
Saint Clairsville is full of rich history around every corner dating back to 1796.

Homes span the decades, with open land ready for new construction
Saint Clairsville has a mix of bungalows from the early 1900s, midcentury ranch-style homes and New Traditional construction from the early 2000s. Especially outside city limits, there are open plots of land for sale. According to Merritt, there is an increased interest in building custom homes around Barnesville. "A lot of level lots are already there with sewer and water hookups," she says.
The median home price is $220,000. Smaller homes start around $100,000, and larger properties with an acre of land can be as high as $700,000. "It's an area where if the home is priced right, it will not be on the market for long," Merritt says. She adds that prices tend to be a tad higher here than most of Belmont County, and many homes receive multiple offers. There are also several apartment complexes and mobile homes in the area.
New Traditional construction can be found in the Saint Clairsville with multiple garages.

Taking the interstate to Pittsburgh or Columbus
