‘Spy Town,’ the West Virginia community built to house NSA staffers and where cell phone use is restricted by law, is up for auction starting at $1Million after it was abandoned last year

Sugar Grove Station, also known as ‘Spy Town,’ was built to house intelligence analytical staff. It’s located in Sugar Grove, West Virginia

Sugar Grove is located in what is known as the ‘ National Radio Quiet Zone ,’ where cell phone and radio use is strictly limited by law

The community is known as ‘Spy Town,’ because it used to host NSA personell. The last staffers were moved from the site in 2015

The U.S. General Services Administration , which oversees the sale of Sugar Grove Station, describes it as a ‘wonderful fenced community’

The site includes ’80 single-family homes, many with carports, on lovely tree-lined streets,’ a public works building with a gymnasium, a youth activity center, a community center with a fireplace and bar area

Examples of typical kitchens in ‘Spy Town,’ where up to 500 people can be housed in the 80 residential buildings

In 2005, the New York Times reported that the site intercepts all international communications entering the Eastern United States

‘Spy Town’ comes with a community center with a fireplace and bar area, where NSA staffers presumably mingled in the past

The child care center on the grounds looks cozy and inviting. Up to 500 people can be housed at the site, which has many of the features one would expect from an American town

Children sit on the floor inside the child care center at the Sugar Grove Station in West Virginia, which originally housed NSA staffers

There is even a state-of-the-art playground, with swing sets, slides, and other fun activities for children

The GSA writes the ‘wonderful fenced community’ could be ‘ideal for a corporate training center, or a university or academic campus’

Other potential uses include a spa/clinic, movie studio, or mountain resort, the GSA writes on an auction website

The tree-lined streets, houses with carports and American flags make ‘Spy Town’ look like a slice of suburbia

Bazinga! The youth recreation center has a pool table and an air-hockey table, and comfortable-looking couches to rest on

In the recreational area there is a tiny bowling alley with two lanes – good fun for anyone living in the ‘National Radio Quiet Zone’

The gymnasium includes a basketball court. The Stars and Stripes, along with state flags and other standards, hang on the wall
