Jerome Park Neighborhood Guide
Jerome Park sits quietly between Sabraton and Woodburn along Richwood Avenue, close enough to WVU's campus to make the commute easy but far enough removed to feel like a genuine neighborhood rather than an extension of campus life. The area draws faculty, staff, and young professionals who want walkable access to the university without the noise that comes with living closer to student housing. Older homes with established yards give the streets a settled, unhurried character, and the community tends toward the engaged and outdoorsy, with trail access and a neighborly culture that rewards people who actually want to know the people next door. It is the kind of place where you can keep a reasonable schedule, own a dog, and feel like a real part of Morgantown without giving up convenience.
