Welcome to Ranson West Virginia
Much like the Harpers Ferry and Bolivar situation, Ranson and Charles Town are the same way. The two are right next to each other causing a bit of confusion at times for non-locals. Ranson has the most interesting city limits out of all the other areas in the Eastern Panhandle as its borders stretch to the line at Charles Town, clear out to the shopping center on Route 9, and then up nearly into Kearneysville. It is part of Jefferson County and it part of the border for Berkeley County. Check out the city site for more info.
Ranson is about 64 miles South East of Washington D.C., about thirty minutes South West of Winchester, VA, and about forty-four minutes South of Hagerstown, MD. Martinsburg, WV is just a short jaunt away at under twenty minutes via Route 9.
The Eastern Panhandle Transit Authority (EPTA) offers bus routes to Ranson. The main hub of the buses is in Martinsburg. The EPTA also offers Demand Response trips. These trips are for riders that cannot make it to the designated bus stops. These rides can be scheduled on weekdays or weekends with advance notice and are done within the 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. timeframe.

What's it Like to Live in Ranson
A Quick Look
The city offers a few blocks of shopping, living, and restaurants, but the majority of Ranson is farmland. There is more rural to the city than city living. Some of this land is home to job bearing business and active producing farmers. Even though there is more acreage, residents of the city have a short drive or even a short walk to neighboring Charles Town.
Unexpected Charm
Even though they are right next to each other, Ranson is a lot more quiet than Charles Town by means of traffic and congestion. There are less touristy visitors as well.
Home Availablility
Homes for sale include single family detached, and attached homes in the stylings of townhomes, colonials, ranchers, and split foyers. There are more preexisting homes for sale than new builds. Prices in Ranson can range from $100,000 all the way up to $500,000 depending on the area and the subdivision.

Attributes
Ranson feels more like Charles Town light. There are less tourist areas to visit, and less shopping than its neighboring towns. The town's boundary lines are quite strange compared to others. They are thinner and run almost parallel to Route 9 towards Martinsburg and encompass more farmland than residential heavy area.
