Petersburg, WV Multifamily Home for Sale

In West Virginia’s Potomac Highlands, the Grant County seat of Petersburg bends along the South Branch of the Potomac River. It’s a city by designation, but a small town by atmosphere, a pocket of historic municipal buildings, homes and commercial strips framed by the South Branch Potomac River Valley’s mountain ridges. While visitors from the DMV are important to businesses and tourism hubs like the Smoke Hole Caverns along U.S. Route 220 and state Route 28, Petersburg is proudest to be a place where multiple generations of families have entered their produce into the same local fair and fished for the same shimmering lineage of golden trout. “It’s really nice to come out this way in Petersburg,” says Sandra Hunt, an associate broker with West Virginia Land and Home Realty specializing in Grant, Hampshire, Hardy, Mineral and Pendleton counties. “It’s a different lifestyle, a slower-paced place where people feel safe, the air is fresh, and you can just enjoy nature and wildlife with fewer restrictions. It feels like you can breathe better in West Virginia.” Simple prewar National homes and bungalows mix with stately Queen Annes along Petersburg’s older residential blocks. Later
