Live in a Vibrant Area Nestled in the WV Hills

Find your adventure in West Virginia!

Charleston, at the heart of Kanawha County, is an eclectic, friendly city bustling with life and gems to explore.

Find the best cuisine Appalachia has to offer from mouthwatering brunch to an exquisite selection of date night eateries. Enjoy elevated pizza, or a night out dining from the menu of a James Beard Award Finalist.

Before work you may find yourself frequenting Appalachian Tea or Mea Cuppa for coffee. If the thought of a hot biscuit makes your mouth water, the best biscuits in the South are only a short drive away.

On the weekend, meet up with friends at the local brewery on Brewers Row in Charleston or in downtown Clendenin.
