Clarksburg

 

Featuring a suburban feel, this 740-acre community features a plethora of parkland and a population of fewer than 25,000. Home styles here range from modest to opulent, each residence situated on a sizable piece of property.  

 

Clarksburg is tight-knit—residents gather annually for family-friendly functions and town-wide celebrations. The town hub features plenty of retail choices and small, locally-owned markets. The area is also primed for a period of growth—plans are in the works for a large expansion to one of the town’s already bustling recreational sites.

 

The demographic here is young—families enjoy the small-town charm and outdoor amenities that Clarksburg has to offer.

 

There’s plenty to do and see in town. At Clarksburg Premium Outlets, shoppers can find a range of deals at hundreds of designer stores. The Clarksburg Tavern serves comfort food and craft beer, while Clarksburg Grille serves up BLT subs, classic egg sandwiches, and other made-to-order meals. Hidden Ridge Farm sells local, sustainably grown fresh cut flowers.

 

Clarksburg residents gather at the Ovid Hazen Wells Recreational Park, a 290-acre area that includes ballfields, playgrounds, and trails. Expansion is being planned, and proposed elements include an amphitheater, community greenspace, kite lawn, carousel, picnic zone, water play structure, adventure playground, teen adventure play area, skatepark, fitness/track facility, and dog park. Kites Over Clarksburg—an annual event that includes communal kite flying, arts and crafts, and games—takes place here each March. Black Hills Park is also a popular gathering spot. The space features a dog run, fishing pier and boat rentals, plus trails, playgrounds, and picnic shelters.
