Morgantown's WVU Market
Morgantown is West Virginia's most economically dynamic city, driven by West Virginia University's enormous presence. WVU is the state's largest employer and creates a large academic and medical community — WVU Medicine's hospitals and research facilities are among the state's most important healthcare institutions. Faculty, graduate students, and medical professionals form the primary professional walking market.
The city's Evansdale and Suncrest neighborhoods near the evansdale campus have the highest walking demand. Morgantown's college-town character and progressive values make it the most sophisticated and platform-forward market in West Virginia.
