Charles Town Real Estate
Charles Town, the county seat of Jefferson County, is small in size but absolutely huge in amenities. A premier location for real estate in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, Charles Town is experiencing incredible growth as visitors quickly realize that buying a home here is a great value.
World-class attractions, a wonderful heritage and small-town ambiance combine to make Charles Town a great place to call home. With a population barely over 3,000 residents, Charles Town has retained its friendly and welcoming atmosphere it has been known for since it was established in 1786. Charles Town's beginnings are something of legend as the entire city was designed by George Washington's younger brother, Charles. Even today, you can see Charles Washington's influence of Charles Town's streets when you come to the intersection off Washington and George Streets and see the area he personally donated for the use of public buildings. Walking tours still guide visitors and residents through many of Charles Town's historic areas and past the homes of notable historical figures who have had homes here.
Downtown Charles Town remains the heart of the community, and today you can still see the history and the progress it has made. Local business owners warmly greet patrons who come to have a delicious meal at the many restaurants and cafes, or to shop at an antique store or boutique. Charles Town is also a popular destination for those who love the arts because the Old Opera House has provided excellent performances since 1910. The twice-annual "West Virginia's Mountain Heritage Arts & Crafts Festival" brings thousands of visitors and over 200 vendors to Charles Town to enjoy live music and unique shopping. Throughout the year, Charles Town has a variety of fairs and festivals that celebrate holidays or just our wonderful way of life.
For something different, Charles Town has the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races for fans of thoroughbred racing, table games, slot machines, live entertainment and great food.
