460 Virginia Avenue, Wiles Hill ~ SOLD

3 beds / 1 bath / 2 car garage / Walkability: 46/100

The Wiles Hill/ Highland Park neighborhood is one of Morgantown’s hidden gems. Less than a mile’s walk to both campuses, the neighborhood has maintained its family appeal surprisingly well considering its proximity to WVU.

This is 460 Virginia Avenue. It’s a three bedroom, one bathroom powerhouse attractively priced at $159,000.

With the corner lot, there’s room to work out those gardening chops you’ve been bragging about for years. And it’s got a giant garage, which is really hard to find with an older home in a walk-able neighborhood.

Wiles Hill is home to healthcare professionals, teachers, police officers, and professors. Homes were built a little later than comparable homes in Morgantown’s south side, and usually have bigger lots. A lot of folks take advantage of that extra space and plant vegetable gardens. Few Wiles Hill homes, though, have as much space as 460 Virginia Avenue.

So what will it be? Rows of tomatoes? Kale? Fresh broccoli? What would you grow on that extra lot?
