Prichard, WV

Prichard is a small, quiet community stretched along the Big Sandy River in Wayne County, right across the water from Kentucky. With a population under 500, it gives residents a laid-back rural setting along Route 52, while still being an easy commute to jobs, dining, and hospitals across the Huntington-Ashland Tri-State area. Prichard Elementary serves local younger kids and remains a familiar community fixture. Between the riverfront views, open green space, and convenient highway access, it is a practical spot for anyone looking for quiet country living near larger towns.
