Your Peaceful Retreat: Long-Term Rental Near WVU & Hospitals
Escape to this quiet townhouse, hidden amidst lush trees yet centrally located in Morgantown. Tucked away behind the new Glass Factory strip mall and Star City Fire Station, you're just moments from WVU, hospitals, the Coliseum, and the Interstate.
Perfect for long-term tenants (2+ years), this home offers two full bedrooms on the second floor, each with a large walk-in closet and private full bathroom. The spacious, finished basement, featuring a fireplace, closet, and walk-out patio, serves as an excellent third bedroom. An attached garage and two decks overlooking tranquil woods complete this peaceful haven.
Estimated Monthly Costs:
* Water, Gas, Sewer, Electricity, Garbage: $100 - $150 (as advised by previous tenants, dependent on usage)
* Monthly Maintenance: $35 (for power washing, fall leaves, lawn mowing, snow removal)
Total Estimated Monthly Out-of-Pocket Costs (excluding pet fees):
* Low End: $100 (utilities) + $35 (maintenance) = $135
* High End: $150 (utilities) + $35 (maintenance) = $185
Key Considerations:
* Heating: Since heating is gas and described as "very minimal bill for heating in winter months," this cost is likely included within the $100-$150 utility estimate. However, be prepared for slight fluctuations during colder periods.
* Usage Dependency: Your actual utility bill will heavily depend on your personal consumption habits (e.g., how much you use heating/cooling, take long showers, run appliances).
* No Other Fees (unless pet): This simplifies budgeting significantly, as you won't have to account for hidden administrative or miscellaneous charges.
* Pet Fees: If you have a pet, remember to inquire about these additional costs, as they can vary widely.
