83 Compound Cir

Positioned about eighty miles northwest of Washington, D.C., Martinsburg is the largest city in West Virginia’s eastern Panhandle region. Historically a railroad town, the local economy has diversified considerably in recent years but transportation is still a major industry in the area.

The Downtown district along Queen Street is packed with beautifully preserved buildings housing an array of locally-owned cafes, specialty shops, galleries, and other storefront businesses in a charming walkable layout. Larger shopping centers on the north side of town and along Interstate 81 round out the extensive retail options with everything from big-box stores to the local multiplex movie theater.

Living in Martinsburg puts you just minutes away from nearby nature preserves like Sleepy Creek and Cacapon State Park to the west, as well as the history-rich Harper’s Ferry community to the east.
