Cross Lanes is a small community in Kanawha County that gives buyers plenty of options. Winding, hilly roads feature secluded countryside homes, while subdivisions offer a neighborhood vibe with houses closer together. Everything you need is close by, with a mix of locally owned restaurants, fast-food spots and supermarkets lining Big Tyler Road. If you do need to venture out of the community, Charleston is just 12 miles away.
Most homes in Cross Lanes are ranch-style houses from the mid to late 20th century, with some split-levels and Colonial Revivals mixed in. “They’ve got some good, nice subdivisions over there. You get a little more bang for your buck if you’re looking for a home,” says Christina Pepper, a sales associate at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Professional Realty with nearly 20 years of experience. The more rural parts of the community have lots of trees surrounding the homes, while the suburban areas are sunnier.
