Former industrial town finding a new path in the Ohio Valley
An emerging community tucked in the northern panhandle of West Virginia, Weirton was once a manufacturing and industrial center, prized for its location between three states. However, the decline of the steel industry in the area dealt a major blow to the local economy, and Weirton entered the 21st century searching for a new identity. It has found new footing as a hub for commuters headed east to Pittsburgh for work while maintaining a strong local connection to Steubenville, its counterpart across the Ohio River.
A dominant feature of the Downtown Weirton view is the idled steel mill.

Ranch and split-level homes tucked into West Virginia hills
Weirton residential areas follow West Virginia's panhandle with its cresting hills and valleys, and views of the mountainous landscape are present in many parts of town. Downtown Weirton and Marland Heights have homes arranged on gridded streets, but most of Weirton employs traditional suburban layouts, including the cul-de-sacs of Country Club Estates and the curved residential lanes of Woodlawn Estates. Traditional styles are common here, with American Foursquare, split-level and ranch-style properties sitting alongside Pittsburgh-style cottages, Cape Cods, and minimal traditional homes. Most were built between the 1940s and the 1980s; updates vary from minimal cosmetic changes to complete inside-and-out flips. The city’s median single-family home price is about $150,000, below the national median of about $420,000 and Pittsburgh’s median of $255,000. "Homes don't stay on the market long. Most of them go under contract within the first 30 days," says Lisa Hensley, an associate broker with Howard Hanna Mortimer Realty.
Split-level homes can be commonly found along the streets of Marland Heights.
