What is the average 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.

Are there pet-friendly rentals in West Virginia?

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.

Is there senior housing available in West Virginia?

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.

Can I find furnished or short-term rentals in West Virginia?

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.

Can I find luxury apartments in West Virginia?

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.

Renting in West Virginia

Between its rolling hills, forests, and mountain ranges, West Virginia rentals are tucked into rural mountain towns, college cores, and smaller cities. Demand primarily comes from university and healthcare jobs around West Virginia University and medical hubs. Meanwhile, energy, manufacturing, and government jobs generate traffic for apartments and houses for rent in West Virginia's urban areas. Ski resorts, camp sites, and state parks sustain seasonal tourism revolving around outdoor destinations.

The price gap for West Virginia rentals is smaller than that of other East Coast states, but the most expensive rentals surround Washington, D.C. commuter corridors on the Eastern Panhandle. Tourist destinations with luxury vacation rentals also go for high prices. However, small areas in the south and central parts of the state have some of the most affordable apartments in West Virginia. Whether you're looking for mountain homes near the Appalachians or a vacation rental on the river, Rentler lists rental properties across West Virginia, updated every day as new inventory hits the market.

How to Find Affordable Rentals in West Virginia

Affordable apartments, homes, and West Virginia townhouse rentals are mostly in smaller inland cities, industrial corridors, and the southern coalfield region. Bluefield, Beckley, and Clarksburg are some of the best places to find cheap apartments in West Virginia. Rents are typically $300–$700/mo less than in high-cost metros and the Eastern Panhandle. However, these areas are isolated from major employers and urban amenities. As a result, the most budget-friendly West Virginia rentals are best for remote or hybrid workers who don't have a daily commute. All in all, West Virginia's smallest mountain towns can generate substantial cost savings for renters who are flexible on location.
