Thanks to everybody that has posted lately. Your input is very helpful in our decision making. If there are any others that could offer some personal experiences or opinions please send them to this post.
There are definitely some...some...changing attitudes in Berkeley County for the better (I say that as an African American woman), and I've mostly felt welcomed here. But Shepherdstown is definitely more open-minded and inclusive. It's about 15 minutes from Martinsburg - a small college-ish town with a great community. Check it out! I work there and honestly, it's where I wish we'd have purchased (housing is a bit more expensive).
I love Shepherdstown! A very fun vibe, for sure. Great restaurants and festivals as well.
Kbeeknca, if you don't mind a 15 minute commute and are willing to pay a little more it's worth checking into.
Any updated info on this thread would be welcome - I'm considering relocating to the Martinsburg area, speak Spanish and am also a medical interpreter as well as a Spanish teacher. Have been offered a teaching job with the county schools, verbally accepted but having trouble locating housing (even after online searching and working with a local realtor). Would be moving from eastern VA. Thanks for any current (June/July 2021) info you can provide about the schools and the area overall.

Would appreciate any local area info, would be moving from VA. Info on schools, housing (which I've already discovered is a tough market!), and the general area would be helpful thanks.

Moderator Note: I'm moving this thread called Moving to Martinsburg? into the one called Possible Relocation to Martinsburg WV because we don't need multiple threads on the same subject.
