Charleston, West Virginia, real estate: What you can get for $1.3 million

The city has become a draw due to its low cost of living and gorgeous scenery

West Virginia has received some great press as a destination of late, being recently named one of Condé Nast Traveler magazine's top 22 places to go in 2022 and landing its first national park earlier this year. 

Anyone who has basked in its gorgeous scenery can understand why, which might be the reason the state's capital city of Charleston has become a draw for some remote workers in the age of COVID-19.

Charleston sits at the confluence of the Elk and Kanawha Rivers, offering plenty of recreational activities along with a low cost of living. It's West Virginia's most populous city, and the median list price for a home there is currently $175,000 according to data from Realtor.com.

Here's what you can get in Charleston with a budget of $1.3 million:
