Listed by STEPHEN BRADLEY• THE AGENCY - MORGANTOWN
Woodburn, located between Downtown Morgantown and the Evansdale campus area, is a historic and walkable Morgantown neighborhood with tree-lined streets and landmark university buildings. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along University Avenue near the Woodburn Circle, where campus foot traffic meets a steady rhythm of buses, class changes, and corner storefronts. Woodburn Hall and the Woodburn Circle anchor the skyline with classic collegiate architecture, while nearby lawns and steps double as everyday gathering space. The WVU Downtown Campus Library adds a studious counterpoint to the street scene. Housing reads as older, close-set homes and small apartment buildings that track the neighborhood’s long relationship with the university. Short blocks and hillside grades shape daily routines around walking routes and stair-stepped views.
