What it’s like

The place. Shadyside is a village in Belmont County, Ohio, on the Ohio River side of the county, close to Wheeling across the river. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little below the county's. A smaller share of adults hold a four-year degree than in many towns, and fewer people work from home, so most residents travel out to a job. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and some snow falls each year. Summers are warm, July is the warmest month, and rain and melted snow keep the year fairly wet.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with shops, restaurants and hotels, and banks, insurance and property also giving work to a good number. Shadyside Local Schools, Continuing Healthcare Shadyside and Highline Warren Shadyside are among the largest workplaces in town. Commutes are fairly short. Across Belmont County, unemployment is lower than a year ago, though the county has a few fewer jobs than the year before.

Things to do. The Wheeling National Heritage Area lies in or beside town, and a short drive brings you to Oglebay Park, a garden, and Grave Creek Mound, an archaeological site. Those who like to walk by the water can head to Wheeling Creek, a river also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Meadowcroft Rockshelter, a museum, is a longer drive away.
