Enslow Park Neighborhood Guide

Enslow Park sits on the hillside above Huntington's east side, offering a quieter, more residential alternative to the bustle closer to downtown. The neighborhood is defined by its handsome brick homes, mature tree-lined streets, and a mid-century architectural character that holds up well decades later. Many residents have ties to nearby Marshall University, and the area draws families and longtime Huntingtonians who want solid square footage, a bit of elevation and privacy, and streets that feel genuinely settled. One thing to keep in mind: this is one of the pricier pockets in the city, and costs tend to climb the further up the hill you go.
