Shady Spring, WV Homes for Rent

Shady Spring is a rural town surrounded by forests, streams and rolling hills in the Appalachian Mountains. Outdoor recreation is a major draw for residents — it’s just a few miles from several mountain resorts, ski slopes and New River Gorge National Park, making it a gateway to some of West Virginia’s best-known outdoor destinations. Despite its proximity to all this recreation, Shady Spring maintains its small-town feel. “It’s a sleepy little mountain town. There’s not much there besides a couple of schools and a post office,” says Realtor Jon Sinko of Glade Springs Real Estate, a longtime area resident. “Let me put it this way: In Shady Spring, it takes an hour and a half to watch '60 Minutes.'” Housing options cross a wide range in Shady Spring — it has everything from stately golf course properties at Glade Springs to cozy ranch-style houses and Traditional homes closer to the town center. With eye-popping views of pristine fairways and a backdrop of mountain scenery, golf course homes fetch the highest prices, typically between $350,000 and $550,000. The town center features older homes on large lots with woodsy surroundings that sell for between $200,000 and $350,000.
