    I am WV born and after living in So Cal and NC returned here to live. Note:
    Huntington has had a lot of issues with illegal drug trade. They are working on cleaning it up but while my kids were at Marshall U (no mention in video?) saw it first hand.
    Morganton is a college town. Known as the number one party school in the US.....know that going in.

      Having said that, the Eastern panhandle is the best of the lot. It is part of the Washington DC outer suburbs. Coal is dieing impacting the state from Clarksburg and south to the VA/KY border. I don't know where you're from but don't make your situation worse.

    The cost of living is the absolute best in the country imo. Absolutely a great place to build your finances if you have a good income. That’s really the only pro bc depending where you live essentials can be miles away and the only things to do is get drunk at home , get drunk at the bar or go hiking.

    I grew up in WV. Your information on average rent and home prices in the Charleston area is wildly outdated - they’ve gone up considerably in the last couple of years. The use of generic stock videos scattered throughout the entire video is a bit cheesy. WV as a whole is a beautiful state, but in the cities such as Charleston and Huntington you still have issues with crime, drugs, and unemployment.
