Great Location Affordable University River Accessible

Granville is a small town and suburb of Morgantown. Located across the river from West Virginia University, Granville is a great option for students and employees of the school. The community is best known for its popular commercial hub, University Town Centre, which houses medical offices, department stores, restaurants, a bookstore, discount shops, and a movie theater. Although this commercial center dominates the town, there is a variety of rentals from luxury off-campus housing to quaint single-family homes. Along with proximity to West Virginia University, Granville is also convenient to Downtown Morgantown. Route 19 and Interstate 70 make traveling in and around Granville easy whether it’s for work, school, or leisure.
