Welcome to Shepherdstown, West Virginia

Shepherdstown is a college town with out of state visitors filling the sidewalks year round. Small mom and pop shops line the streets of the town along with some pretty creative eateries! There is river access in the town with a boat ramp in the Downtown area. 

Despite looking small, Shepherdstown is quite busy and bustling with things to do and places to go. The college brings a lot of visitors into the town and the local shops and history bring weekenders and historical buffs. 

Homes can get a bit expensive due to the college, close proximity to MD, and being located in Jefferson County. Home types range from single family dwellings to very little townhouses/rowhouses. House pricing can range from the millions of dollars down to just a few hundred thousand. There is a mix of more modern styles and ages to the homes available along with historical homes with specific features of the era. The occasional farm/farm house will also come on the market.

Shepherdstown is a well-rounded place to live with plenty of walkability along with short drives to larger places, ultra local shopping with brand name stores nearby, it's a great commuter town, and there are plenty of community activities year round. 

The town is very well established with an absence of large big box businesses such as Wal-Mart or other large retailers - just as the towns people like it. You will have to drive between 20 and 30 minutes to get to the closest stores of this variety. The line between downtown and the rest of Shepherdstown can get a bit congested with commuter traffic in the mornings and afternoon hours. Parents weekend at the college also brings in a higher volume of traffic to the area.
