Realtor Comments
This one-story bungalow offers three bedrooms and one bath with great potential. The owner began renovations, so you’ll find a mix of upgrades already completed – but it still needs additional work, making it the perfect opportunity for someone ready to finish and customize to their liking. New metal roof installed in 2019. Workshop, great for projects or storage. A garage at the lower end of the lot facing South Main Street. Plenty of outdoor space with potential to add another dwelling or expand, subject to zoning and approvals. Excellent opportunity for a homeowner or investor looking to create value. Measurements are approximate.

Affordable Housing

Small‑Town, Community Feel
Residents often describe Weston as close‑knit, quiet, and friendly — with small events, local parks, and a slower, less hectic way of life that many people enjoy.

Cons of Living in Weston, WV
Small Population & Limited Amenities
Weston is a very small city with limited shopping, dining, entertainment, and cultural options. Most amenities — like larger malls or theaters — require travel to bigger towns.
Population Decline
The population has been slightly shrinking over the past several years, which can affect local businesses and community vitality.
Lower Incomes & High Poverty Rate
Median household income in Weston is below national averages, and the poverty rate is relatively high, with a sizable share of households earning less than $50,000.
Local Job Market Is Limited
Employment opportunities in Weston itself can be scarce or modestly paid, and unemployment rates tend to be higher than national figures — many residents commute or work in nearby areas.
Education & School Ratings
Some data show local schools have mixed performance, and educational outcomes don’t always score high compared with state and national norms.
Limited Public Transportation
Weston has limited public transit options, so owning a car is essential for most errands and commuting.
Aging Housing Stock & Vacancies
Some neighborhoods include older homes and vacant or dilapidated properties, which can affect neighborhood appeal and require investment.
