I have to have great coffee, too. Stonewall Coffee House is a few blocks away on Court Street making it easy for me to walk or bike there. It's also right by my job at the Harrison County Courthouse where I work as an aid.

Really, I think the best areas in Clarksburg are right around where I live at Washington Apartments on West Pike Street. Being here allows me to be centrally located to home, work, the gym, and restaurants for dates. Read Less
