But perhaps more than a great place to work, Raleigh County is an ideal place to live. A low crime rate (West Virginia has enjoyed the nation's lowest crime rate for a half century) attracts many of our new residents. But we can't neglect the lofty plateaus of forest and farmland for which our county is known. Even in the heart of our largest city, you'll find woodland and park around every corner.  

The quiet of a small town, the solace of a mountain farm, and the vigor of a city neighborhood— you’ll find them all in Beckley-Raleigh County. Welcome to one of today’s most amazing markets — a mountain paradise in the middle of the Eastern U. S. A uniquely healthy environment is available for the enjoyment of all Raleigh County residents and their many visitors. Pleasantly moderate weather conditions are experienced year-round with an obvious and a beautiful change of seasons.

A variety of housing options at reasonable prices are available to Raleigh County residents. Comparatively new homes dominate the residential scene with prices ranging from $30,000 to $500,000. Located in the county are two of Southern West Virginia’s premier gated communities: Glade Springs Resort and Glade Springs Village.
