Martinsburg is a city that is steadily on the rise, due in part to its close proximity to both Baltimore and our nation's capital. Low cost of living and short commute times to these larger cities have drawn people to charming Martinsburg in droves. It's one of those rare cities where small-town living doesn't mean being cut-off from the perks and bustle of bigger metropolises. Shoppers flock to the Martinsburg Mall for all their consumer needs. The city is serviced by Amtrak, which makes commuting to the business and entertainment districts a breeze for people living in the suburbs.
