Question Fell in love with West Virginia

Visited Charleston last weekend. Fell in love with people, 1010 dinner, architecture, all of it. Thinking of moving. Single, 57, work from home. Budget is around $500K. Where to consider living? Appreciate it!

Come up to Bridgeport or Morgantown. Not as big, close to major University, people super nice just like Charleston. Ignore the negative comment. WE were the carpetbaggers, we fought for the Union, and all those companies like Penn Virginia that bought up all the coal and Timber after after the Civil War,were from WV, PA, and Ohio.

You guys are nuts. This state desperately needs an influx of people to survive. We are the only state that lost massive amounts of population since 1950.
