Woodburn Homes for Rent

Woodburn, a neighborhood in Morgantown, is characterized by its dramatic hills and a mix of historic home styles, including Foursquares, Queen Anne-inspired National homes, Cape Cods, and 1950s ranch-style houses. Many of these homes feature preserved woodwork and sit on sloping lots with stairs leading to the front door. The area offers more sidewalks and off-street parking compared to nearby communities. Woodburn attracts first-time buyers and investors due to its relatively lower home prices and transient population, including students and medical residents. Local highlights include Whitemore Park, the oldest park in Morgantown, with a swing set, basketball court, and trail system, and Marilla Park, which features walking trails, a skate park, and tennis courts. Mario’s Fishbowl, a longstanding restaurant and bar, is a neighborhood staple known for its eclectic menu and historical ambiance. For shopping, residents head to Sabraton’s Aldi and Kroger, 1.5 miles away, or the Suncrest Towne Centre, 2.5 miles away. Woodburn hosts the annual Celebrate Woodburn arts showcase and is close to downtown’s Hazel Ruby McQuain Park, which offers free summer concerts. The neighborhood is within walking distance of downtown Morgantown and West Virginia University, contributing to its diverse and vibrant culture. Younger students attend highly rated schools, including Eastwood Elementary, Mountaineer Middle, and Morgantown High, the top public high school in West Virginia. Public transit is limited, but the Mountain Line Transit Authority provides a connection to downtown and the Morgantown Municipal Airport.
