20th century homes and distinctive businesses in the heart of the Ohio Valley
Once a community defined by its steel production and industrial activity, the Downtown Weirton of today is an emerging community at the heart of the Ohio Valley. Largely situated between the rail lines of the Weirton Railroad Depot and the natural state line of the Ohio River, mom-and-pop businesses and early 20th century homes surround Main Street in the heart of the city.

Mixed home styles along hilly residential blocks
Houses in downtown Weirton sit on extended residential blocks that cut through the naturally hilly landscape. It isn’t unusual to see thick retaining walls, staircases and raised foundations here, and streets are narrow with a mix of garages and on-street parking. Most homes in the neighborhood are from the 1920s to 1940s. These draw from Craftsman, American foursquare and minimal traditional design sensibilities, and buyers can find them in a variety of conditions. A few homes on the south end from the 1950s and 1960s round out the market. These mostly have Cape Cod or split-level forms and employ a simple folk style with brick, vinyl or aluminum exteriors. Single-family homes with higher upkeep needs generally range from $12,500 to $37,500. Turnkey properties and updated homes typically sell from $45,000 to $145,000. Duplex homes in varying conditions range from $26,000 to $51,000. The area’s CAP Index score of 7 out of 10 indicates a higher potential crime risk than the 4 out of 10 national average.

Indoor and outdoor leisure at Millsop Community Center
The Millsop Community Center is downtown Weirton’s recreational hub. Guests can stop by to use the gymnasium, swimming pool, exercise rooms or basketball courts, and the center also offers annual youth sports leagues. The Mary H. Weir Public Library and Edwin J. Bowman Baseball Field both sit next to the community center. Northwest of the neighborhood, Williams Golf and Country Club offers an 18-hole layout for days on the green, with several holes offering some of Weirton’s best views of the Ohio River and its surrounding valley. On the neighborhood’s south end, Brooke-Hancock County Veterans Memorial Park is dedicated to the memory and efforts of local armed forces. Displays at the memorial include a unique experimental tank built in the 1960s using a combination of U.S. and British parts and a decommissioned AH-1 Super Cobra helicopter.
