North Hills, WV

North Hills is a Wood County town just north of Parkersburg, incorporated in 1979 as a suburb of the Ohio Valley city. The town’s own map is small, but its municipal details are easy to spot: a pool, a park shelter, and a calendar built around facilities the town maintains itself. North Hills also points to an unusual claim about its recreational space, saying it has the highest ratio per resident of any West Virginia town. North Hills is a compact place whose address is tied to Parkersburg while its town lines keep a separate civic name.
