Overview
Jefferson County sits at the eastern tip of West Virginia, where the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers meet. Charles Town is the county seat, and the county also includes Harpers Ferry, Shepherdstown, Ranson and a large rural area of farms and open land.
Its location makes it a common choice for people who work in Northern Virginia or Maryland and want more space, along with buyers looking for farms, acreage and historic homes.
Getting around
US 340 and WV Route 9 are the main routes toward Northern Virginia. MARC commuter rail serves Harpers Ferry and Duffields on the Brunswick Line toward Washington, D.C.
Types of homes
Housing ranges from historic homes in Charles Town, Shepherdstown and Harpers Ferry to newer subdivisions around Charles Town and Ranson, and farms, horse properties and land throughout the rural parts of the county.
