In my opinion Cumberland is a beautiful area.Sure there are poor neighborhoods,but that's everywhere anymore.
Ever been to any of these 5 cities? Horrible. Not a single decent neighborhood in any of them. The absolute armpits of the US. Add in Huntington WV and you can round out a nice half dozen places to never go.
Md's version of WV.
The population's down about 30%, so lots of housing opportunities are available.
$81,800 That's for a 100 year old house, built into a hill, with no yard (front or back) and street parking. No thanks.
