If you want to live within city limits I would suggest checking into the Westover area <I have lived in that area for over 14 yrs>. If your looking for something outside the city limits but still close to everything, I suggest:
Harmony Grove
Laurel Point
Cheat Lake
Rt. 73 <midway between Morgantown & Fairmont>
Because we are a college town, there are lots of things to do here. We have the Creative Arts Center <CAC>, WV Public Theatre and Morgantown Arts Center <MAC>, Lakeview Resort & Golf Course, Mountaineer Golf Course, 3 local parks <2 w/ pools>, a walking/biking trail along the river, and numerous other things.
As far as employment goes in the Morgantown area, we have 2 hospitals, Ruby Memorial <the largest> and Monongalia General, and Healthworks Rehab and Fitness. Your wife may check into these for employment. We also have a large pharmaceutical company based in Morgantown <Mylan>.
Morgantown ranked in the top 5 of the best small towns in the U.S. to live.
I hope this information helps. If I can be of any further help, please let me know.
