I relocated to Huntington, WV for my retirement, having lived most of my life in California. I have never regretted my decision to move to this beautiful area and wild and wonderful WV!😀🤩

I have made a list of what cities to live in when I graduate and WV is meeting a lot of my needs. I currently and in Las Vegas but am from Chicago and I miss the nature but I don’t miss the snow.

[@verahinnant8021]

I spent a lot of time in WV. I always enjoyed it very much. Just loved it and have great memories from those times.

[@maryj2671]

Been through WV while traveling elsewhere. It is so beautiful! Wild and Beautiful WV! Fiesta Homerlaughlin factory near Chester is awesome to visit!

[@stevehall8227]

I grew up in Parkersburg, 30 years ago the only good jobs required you to have a bachelor’s degree AND have an in at a chemical plant. Since I left the state has become an unemployed, junkies dream. Now days from what I’ve read , the town has been tearing down the buildings that made it reasonably cool to see.

[@JonathanSilverman-dz9lm]

Oh .. what a shame!!! so can't raise a family there, it's a shame because it looks like such a beautiful place.

[@christophertaylor1575]

​@@JonathanSilverman-dz9lm It is still a nice town. The guy making comments above said "what have read" He does not know because he is not living in Beckley. Wish he would just keep his mouth closed.

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. thx

I live in Huntington and do enjoy it

[@chicagoperson]

The designation of Huntington as a “major transportation hub” is a misnomer. The trains shown in the video clip are MTA trains from New York City; there is no mass transit in Huntington other than bus lines. Also, the Tri-State Airport has only three (3) gates. This serves the needs of the city, but it is by no means a major airport. Finally, United Airlines doesn’t serve Tri-State Airport; the images shown are of another airport. Huntington is a nice place - I used to live there. But check it out before you move there.

[@MrGST360]

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.

[@wvtaco4379]

With all respect to the creator, why wasn't Berkeley County (Martinsburg) on the list. Berkeley County is the fastest growing counties in the State. Berkeley County has good paying job openings. One can be in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia within 30 minutes.

[@xyzzy7506]

I'm from WV. Had to leave to find work. It's beautiful but you can't eat the view.

[@Terrince_Tate]

I'm legitimately looking into moving to WV. What type of work do they have there?

[@xyzzy7506]

@@Terrince_Tate none. WV is very insular and jobs go to friends and family. 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. Remember, there is no free lunch nor free shipping. Only move to WV if you love the land; it was not enough for me.

[@Terrince_Tate]

@xyzzy7506 Much appreciated for the information. It sucks that jobs are like that. I'm from California, and it's far too expensive here, among other ridiculous issues. I'll keep looking for better options for sure.

[@xyzzy7506]

@@Terrince_Tate I was in Cleveland OH recently and liked it a lot (thinking retiring there). Pittsburgh is a good town, too. I also like Traverse City MI. All are places that are alive, rebounding and have water, pro sports and good health care. All three seem to have your bases covered. I worked in Pasadena for a while. None have traffic like CA.

Those house prices and rent seem high to live in West Virginia

[@slapnutzracing2152]

Right the government should pay people to live here.

Rent in Huntington the cheapest is about $800.00 and you need a damage deposit, nice area are about $2,000 or 4,000 no pets

[@ClabeTickel]

Other KZbin videos say it’s cheap for some reason. They don’t know that the average West Virginian doesn’t have a degree and works around 8 dollars an hour😕 not a livable wage

[@xxyyzzplants131]

Charleston

[@geekmangreg1677]

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.

[@shadow6543]

Like literally every American city and comparatively both of those cities are in better shape than most northern cities
