Charles Town, West Virginia, not to be confused with Charleston the state capital, is charming small town in the outskirts of the Washington DC metropolitan area. Charles Town was named after and founded by Charles Washington, youngest brother of George Washington himself. Residents of Charles Town enjoy all of the wonderful amenities, museums, culture, history, and excitement of the nation's capital just a short hour's drive away. On the day-to-day, however, they love the rural, laid-back lifestyle of this little town.
Charles Town is located along the Appalachian Mountain range, along the Blue Ridge Mountains. These are so named from the beautiful blue appearance they have from afar, meaning that Charles Town is one of the most scenic places around. Take a drive through the mountains and head to Harpers Ferry National Park for a day trip hiking or white water rafting through the gorgeous scenery. Other attractions in the area include a great horse racing track and a casino, which draws people from all over the area.
Charles Town is small enough that you have to travel a town over for the big box stores that are so plentiful in most suburban communities. But, heading to downtown Charles Town is an adventure all its own. Be sure to check out the weekend farmers' market for some delicious, locally grown produce. If you're not much of a chef, check out Dish, a great restaurant dedicated to using local foods. Be sure to pop in at Beasley's Books and Eccentricities where you never know exactly what you'll find. Plus, every third Thursday of the month there is an open arts festival. There's music, food and a ton of wonderful art made by artists living right in the area.
Charles Town is growing fast. So much so that the local high school, Jefferson High, recently gained a new rival in Washington High. Both schools are very well regarded and are a great choice for your children. New families mean new homes, and there is a plethora of beautiful choices at all price points right in Charles Town.
