A narrow northern panhandle neighborhood with lower taxes and jobs
Terrace Heights differs from the surrounding neighborhoods in the West Virginian panhandle city of Weirton. While the hilly geography of the area tends to extend into other residential areas, that is not the case in Terrace Heights. “People in this neighborhood mostly have level yards, which doesn’t happen anywhere else in the city,” says Carla Slusarek, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Mortimer Realty and a Weirton native. A level yard isn't the only thing the neighborhood has going for it, says Slusarek. "People are attracted to this area because of lower taxes in West Virginia, compared to Pennsylvania and Ohio." She explained that the lower taxes appeal to commuters who make the 35-mile drive to Pittsburgh. Commutes for work aren't necessary for work, however, as Weirton has a few major employers of its own. “Weirton Medical Center, which will soon be WVU Medicine, is one of the biggest, and Form Energy will employ 800 people,” says Evan Cuomo, an associate broker with Cedar One Realty. Form Energy is a newly constructed battery manufacturing plant that plans to expand.
Several small businesses line Pennsylvania Avenue on the north side of Terrace Heights.
Terrace Heights is bounded by woods and a steep slope toward the central city of Weirton.

There are level homes in Terrace Heights
Forests surround the neighborhood on nearly all sides, buffering it from commercial areas. Within the community, narrow sidewalks are common, but not throughout, and narrow backstreets lead to detached garages and parking behind homes. Generally, however, residents park on the street or utilize driveways and attached garages. Homes are primarily single-family split-levels, Cape Cods and ranch-styles from the 1950s to the ‘70s with three to four bedrooms, mostly not bigger than 2,000 square feet. Prices range between $30,000 and $190,000, with homes on the lower end needing renovation. The First Street website, which tracks environmental concerns, puts some homes in this neighborhood in the moderate fire risk category due to bordering wooded areas at risk of wildfire. Nearby houses of worship include Morning Star Baptist Church, Shiloh Apostolic Faith Church and the nondenominational Impact Church.

Two schools in Terrace Heights
Hancock County School District serves the neighborhood with Weirton Elementary housing kindergarten through fourth grade about 3-and-a-half miles east. The school gets a B-plus grade on Niche and has a student-teacher ratio of 14-to-1. Students feed into Weir Middle School beginning in fifth grade before entering Weir High School after eighth grade. Both schools in the chain are in the neighborhood and earn B-minus grades. Weir High works with West Virginia Northern Community College in Weirton to offer dual enrollment courses. The athletic fields are behind the school, meaning that the crowd from the Red Rider home football games may be heard in parts of the neighborhood. Private school options include St. Joseph the Worker Grade School and, across the street, Weirton Madonna High School, a Catholic school that gets a B grade.
Weir Middle School serves about 602 students and has a B- rating from Niche.
Weir High School is home to the Red Riders sporting teams.
