Charming, small-town atmosphere just minutes away from two of West Virginia’s biggest cities.

Suburb Commuter Schools Safe Family-Friendly

Hurricane is a small city positioned midway between Huntington and Charleston—it’s about a thirty minute drive to each on Interstate 64. It’s primarily a residential community, but downtown Hurricane is frequently the site of large community events, including the Main Street Spring Festival in May, Food Truck Fridays in the summer, and the Harvest Festival in October. The schools in town earn excellent ratings and the local crime rate is quite low, making it a terrific place to raise a family. Contrary to the city’s name, Hurricane is not prone to actual hurricanes; the name stems from surveyors noting that several bent trees in the area appeared to have been hit by a massive cyclone.
