Homes for Rent in Shrewsbury, WV

Shrewsbury is a small community along the Kanawha River that traces its history back to the early days of salt mining in the area. Today it's a bedroom community for Charleston, with modest homes situated between the river and U.S. Route 60. Buyers can find bungalows, cottages and ranch-style houses, plus some New Traditional homes from the 21st century. Students attend Kanawha County Schools, including the nearby Riverside High School, which offers career pathways in computer science, engineering and robotics. A small bar on Highway 60 is the only business in town, but stores like Walmart and Tractor Supply Co. are a few miles away in Dickinson. This area also has restaurants like Guadalajara Modern Mexican and Gino's Pizza & Spaghetti House. The commute to Charleston is about 16 miles along Highway 60 and Interstate 64, while some people drive to Beckley for work, about a 45-mile trip on I-64. The proximity to the river poses a flood risk, so it's important to check flood maps to know your property's insurance requirements.
