Suburban-style living on Weirton's north side
Bridging the northern end of Weirton’s central areas with the outer rustic areas of Hancock County, Kings Creek takes its name from the waterway that runs through the neighborhood. Pockets of homes sit along Kings Creek Road, a rural highway winding along the path of the water and connects to 12th Street, the neighborhood’s connecting thread to Pennsylvania Avenue and Weirton’s central areas. Residents may have to take longer trips for groceries and entertainment, but in return, a peaceful life with broad views of the Ohio Valley awaits.
