Sleepy little town
-
9/9/2019
I've lived in Summersville for over 20 years and I wouldn't recommend moving here. The job market is stagnant, the mindset is 50+ years out dated, the economy isn't anything to write home about and most of the people are closed-minded and rude. Its a town for old, religious people that don't mind winter. There's virtually nothing to do, nothing for kids to do and anything there is to do is too expensive for anyone that lives here to be able to afford. The only good thing is there is almost no crime. Summersville is a sleepy little central-southern WV town and you can tell. There's one stop light in town, basically nothing to do in the downtown area (mostly the municipal building, sheriff's station, court house and annex and a few small gas stations) and our groceries and health care are pretty costly compared to most other places. Our population is declining-and there's good reason. I wouldn't recommend anyone moving here that has any intention of having any kind of life other than working and sitting at home, as there's nothing else to do.
