About Morgantown's South Park Neighborhood
South Park is across Deckers Creek from downtown Morgantown. You'll find many of this neighborhood's residents taking a stroll across the Pleasant's Street Bridge from the neighborhood into Morgantown's thriving, and very walkable, downtown.
South Park is a friendly, diverse neighborhood. Popular with many WVU professors and young people; many who enjoy walking their dogs along the tree-lined streets, stopping to chat with neighbors and other walkers.
Originally farmland, it was one of the first suburbs of Morgantown. In the early 20th century, South Park saw a housing boom, with wealthy and influential citizens settling here.
The neighborhood is home to Morgantown High School, built in 1924 and recently expanded. During the school season, you might see (if not certainly hear!) Morgantown High's marching band parading down the streets, practicing during the afternoon.
The neighborhood is designated a historic district by the National Register of Historic Places.
Be sure to visit our Parking Page for information on street parking in South Park (our rentals all have off-street parking for one vehicle, but this is good info to know - and you might still want to obtain a parking permit for visitors or if you have more than one car)
