Homes in Charleston
The median Charleston home dates to 1956, according to the Census ACS. That makes the typical house about 70 years old. Houses that old often still have duct runs sized for an old coal or oil furnace and 60- or 100-amp electrical panels. Both can add cost when new equipment goes in. Owners live in 62.8% of occupied homes, roughly 13,000 households. The median home value is $187,300, and median household income is $64,512. We use both figures to adjust labor and pricing for this page.
