The Truth about the Belpre, OH/Parkersburg, WV are - 8/5/2010
I've read some bad things posted by other people and I just don't see where it's coming from. I've lived here for only two months (moved here from Las Vegas, NV.....it's really really bad there in many many ways) and in this short time I've gotten 4 jobs.
Obviously I don't work at all 4 currently, I have two jobs currently. One as a Stone Artisan, installing and fabricating granite and quartz counter tops.

It's not a bad retirement area as houses are cheaper every day, and there are a few attractions in the area thanks to being on the West Virginia border.
Driving through the Parkersburg, WV/ Belpre,OH area you will find hospitals, drug stores, bars and churches, but almost NOTHING else.
The cost of living is low

No crime, quiet corner on the Ohio River - 5/31/2006
If you work in the medical field, you can find a job easy, most places have hiring bonuses to get people in. Belpre is a dry town, right across the river from Parkersburg WV. Not a bad place to live if you like humid summers. A decent house can be purchased for around $100,000, river recreation, and plenty of
