Charles Town, Berkeley County and Jefferson County, West Virginia; Local Information, Interstate Information, National Information and International Information

Berkeley and Jefferson County are part of the Quad-State and Greater Washington, D.C. area markets. We gain many new residents from Frederick, Clarke, and Loudoun Counties of Virginia, as well as Frederick and Washington Counties of Maryland. Many residents of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the District of Colombia also move to Jefferson and Berkeley Counties, as well. Many have found great benefits in moving to West Virginia, including lower tax rates, lower cost of living, and lower home prices.
