Serving as the capital and most populated city in West Virginia, Charleston has an abundance of opportunities for its residents. The city and surrounding area offer a robust education system, including several colleges and universities, and boasts a variety of community events. Although the bustling metropolitan area presents many attractions, the poverty rate is almost double that of the country average, leaving people in need of more East Building options of affordable housing.
