Warwood
Victorian-influenced homes from the 1900s
Turning off of Warwood Avenue, most folks living in Warwood come home to shady residential streets filled with closely-spaced homes from the early 1900s. The fronts of most properties open straight to the sidewalk, which makes it easy to get out for a walk through the neighborhood, while fenced-in backyards lead to detached garages with alley access. "A lot of people choose this area because homes here are more affordable than other parts of Wheeling. Warwood is filled with older homes that have a lot of character," says Bob Kennen, Broker with Kennen & Kennen Realtors. Constructed from about 1910 to 1930, properties here offer a mix of traditional, farmhouse and Victorian-influenced architecture, with large dormer widows allowing light in and wide front porches creating a space for families to gather outside. In price, smaller properties tend to sell for as low as $70,000, while larger, more refurbished properties sell for as high as $170,000 dollars. Due to Warwood's proximity to the Ohio River, FEMA may also require varying levels of flood insurance.

Ohio County Schools within walking distance
From pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, students living in Warwood can go to school close to home at Warwood School. Located right in the heart of the neighborhood near Garden Park, the school is close enough for many students in the area to walk to and earns a B-minus on Niche. Ninth-graders move on to Wheeling Park High, which is located about 8 miles southeast of Warwood and receives a B-plus rating on Niche. One highlight of the school is its History of Wheeling Course. This class was created by Ryan Stanton, who won the school's 2023 Teacher of the Year award, and takes place one Saturday a month for anyone living in the Wheeling community to learn about the city's unique history.Heading outdoors along the Ohio River
The Wheeling Heritage Trail is an 18-mile long fitness path located that's within walking distance from most homes. Running along the eastern banks of the Ohio, this paved trail is a convenient way to get out for some exercise while also taking in views of the river or learning about the area's history from self-guided tour signs. To get out on the river or go fishing, folks can also store their boat at the Warwood Boat Club, which is located right on 20th Street. Green spaces like North 24th Street Park and Garden Park can also be found tucked within Warwood's residential areas, providing a convenient place to relax outside or walk the dog. In addition to a playground and basketball court, Gilson says North 24th Street Park is usually filled with families and children playing in little league games on the weekends. Garden Park also has a swimming pool for folks to stay cool during the summer and is a popular site for community gatherings.

Warwood-local options for shopping and dining

Located right off of Warwood Avenue, shoppers can pick up groceries from Kroger, shop for clothes at Goodwill or find a variety of household goods and toys at Family Dollar. For something to eat, The Corner Connection is a locally-owned corner store that sells shelved goods and bundles of firewood. The store is also home to Gracie Mae's Sandwich Shop, where folks can purchase made-to-order sandwiches and chilis for take out. Besides Subway and McDonald's, the only other sit-down eatery in the neighborhood is The Cheese Melt Grill and Bar. "We get a lot of families walking or scootering and biking over with their kids since we're pretty much surrounded by homes and residential area," says owner Thomas Gilson. Patrons can try a variety of specialty grilled cheese sandwiches, or try biting into a smash burger, which is cooked on high heat and browned for extra crunch and juiciness. "They only come one way and that's done, but you'll still like it," says Gilson.
