District of Columbia Bedroom Community - 7/8/2006
Martinsburg used to have many beautiful farms and orchards. Ever since the folks in the DC area discovered the same houses can be had there for less than half the price and a less expensive cost of living, the face of Martinsburg, WV is changing. Farm land is being sold out to developers who are turning once green pastures into cement and hundreds of new townhome and single family home developments. Martinsburg is no longer an inexpensive town in which to live. Taxes are extremely high and the price of homes is out of sight.

The only good thing about Martinsburg is the weather is fairly decent...the winter is usually not too difficult.
There are a lot of people who live in Martinsburg and surrounding areas who work in Washington, DC, so recently a lot of housing has been developed.
Even so, Martinsburg is just another exuse for a
