West Side Homes for Rent

West Side in Charleston features a mix of Four Square, ranch-style homes, and bungalows built between the early 1900s and the 1950s. These homes are closely spaced, typically without garages or driveways, leading residents to park on the street. The neighborhood is part of the Accelerate WV 2023 program, aiming to enhance community development. Magic Island Park, a riverside playground with a splash pad and walking trails, is a local highlight, hosting the Charleston Parkrun and leading to Haddad River Front Park, known for its amphitheater and free summer concerts. The Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center and the newly renovated Kanawha County Public Library are nearby attractions. Dining options include The Smokehouse, a long-standing eatery, and Dancing Dog Ice Cream, a pet-friendly spot with a 1950s diner vibe. Shopping needs are met by a Kroger on Delaware Avenue and the Patrick Street Plaza Shopping Center. OktoberWest, an annual bar crawl in the Elk City District, supports local community projects. Washington Street connects West Side to major highways, and the Kanawha Valley Regional Transportation Authority provides bus service. Cyclists can enjoy rides along Kanawha Boulevard, and the West Virginia International Yeager Airport is about 6 miles away.
