6,355 Apartments, Houses, & Townhomes for Rent in West Virginia

Prices vary across the state. As home to West Virginia University, Morgantown typically has the most expensive rents, for both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. The West Virginia rentals with the lowest prices are in low-demand areas like Bluefield, with considerably lower prices for both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.

With vast green spaces and an outdoor lifestyle, West Virginia rentals are usually pet friendly. Most of the state is made up of rural and suburban stretches, and many homes have yards or private plots of land. As a result, landlords tend to accommodate renters with multiple pets and large dogs. But for student housing and pet-friendly apartments, West Virginia landlords and property managers are stricter. Before applying, always ask the landlord for their specific pet policy. That way, you can confirm that you qualify before paying any non-refundable fees.

When looking for senior housing, West Virginia renters should focus on healthcare hubs and retiree communities. For example, Charleston and Parkersburg have many 55+ apartments for rent in West Virginia, as well as assisted living facilities and healthcare-oriented communities. Be prepared for waitlists, especially when signing up for income-restricted housing options. Keep in mind that small rural mountain towns tend to have the lowest prices, but services and accessibility may be limited.

Outside of college towns with short-term student housing, Harpers Ferry and Snowshoe are some of the best places to find flexible leases and rentals with furniture. These ski and mountain resort areas are popular tourist destinations, so many landlords provide seasonal properties that are move-in ready. To quickly find short-term and furnished rentals, West Virginia renters should use Rentler's 'furnished amenities' and 'lease length' filters.

Suncrest, Cheat Lake, Charles Town, and resort towns usually have the highest concentration of luxury West Virginia apartments and high-end houses. These listings are typically new builds with mountain-view patios, smart home features, fireplaces, and premium finishes. To find luxury rentals as soon as they hit the market, turn on Rentler's 'year built' filter and sort prices by high to low.
