Elkview has a a limited amount of stores. There are two grocery stores, one is Kroger's - who is affordable, and the other is Smith's - who are rather pricey. There is also a Kmart, Goodwill, and a Family Dollar for other household needs and clothing. There are four gas stations. Three of which are just off the interstate and the fourth is about a mile away from the interstate. There are several fast food places also. They have a nice library that is only about four years old. That's all Elkview has to offer. There isn't a playground or park to take your kids to. There is no place to go for entertainment. The schools are mediocre.
Elkview has had some devastation recently with the June flooding, this disaster caused people to loose everything. I have lived in Elkview for most of my life, but I was lucky not to have been flooded as others were. The town in its own way is ideal for raising children, it is all about community, church, and family in this area. Elkview is really not a high crime area, but like most neighborhoods you always have that bad seed that has to be dealt with. Overall I would say this town has lots of potential to be a great place again once the rebuilding starts, and living begins again.
elkview is a small community outside of charleston wv. There are some job opportunities, considering the size of the community. This community really comes together in times of tragedy as was witness in 2016 when the flood wipe out most of the community. you would have to travel to Charleston for a variety in nightlife. Overall I would recommend this area as a place to buy a home and raise a family.
