Hello, I'm a teacher here and Household incomes average around $56,699 in Weirton. It's a a small town city with about 18,785 people. Homes are going for about $122,800 on average. The median home value here is around $122,800, which is actually reasonable. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Is this normal for Weirton? I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem surprisingly good.
I've been here 8 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's stable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the Riverside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Hope this helps!.

I've been here 6 years and I have mixed feelings honestly. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's growing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Westside side vs the Highland side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
No regrets on my end..
