AREA ATTRACTIONS

Residents of Colonial Estates will be drawn to the special quality of life to be found in the Elkins community, a college town that invites quiet reflection or kick-up-your-heels fun, plus a variety of professional entertainment venues, cultural presentations, and four-season recreational opportunities.

Location is everything! Colonial Estates is ideally situated just off the beaten path at the edge of the city, which offers a plethora of life-enhancing aspects.

Quiet and safe with a low crime rate, Elkins is fast becoming "a city others envy" as it draws visitors from all parts of the country who savor a taste of the good life in this North Central West Virginia city. Thus, many people, tired of the urban lifestyle, are looking to relocate--to stay--to live at Colonial Estates!

Those born and raised in the area are attracted to this lovely, gated, community, excited to find that they can come home again, nostalgic for the life they once enjoyed, away from urban sprawl, and in a community of like-minded folks who are looking for the home of their dreams.

From Colonial Estates, you can feel the fresh mountain breezes of the Monongahela National Forest, historically recognized as an outdoor sportsman's paradise, where miles and miles of trout and bass streams beckon. Long before the first frost, hunters are anxiously gearing up for hunting season and their annual sojourn in the lush forested areas where deer, turkey, grouse and bear are plentiful.

The surrounding area is the ticket to four-season recreational fun--swimming and biking, whitewater rafting or hiking along miles of nature trails in summer.
