Review of Martinsburg, West Virginia


District of Columbia Bedroom Community
Star Rating - 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.

Buyer beware.
