South Hills, located between Downtown Morgantown and Cheat Lake, is a residential and hillside Morgantown neighborhood with winding streets and wooded overlooks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the South Hills School area along Brockway Avenue, where sidewalks, ballfields, and school-day bustle set the tempo. Mid-century ranches and split-levels mix with newer builds on steep lots, and many blocks feel tucked behind mature trees. South Hills Park adds trails and open green space, while nearby rail-trail segments trace the Monongahela River’s edge. Community staples strongly associated with the area include the Metropolitan Theatre downtown, the Morgantown Farmers Market, and the WVU Creative Arts Center for performances and exhibits.
