"Charleston is a safe place to live and raise a family. It has a small community feel but with more modern connections and convenience. If you are in school, Charelston is the home of EASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY, A fantastic School! Rent is high! Housing goes quick especially around the summer time.. People are very nice and approachable. All in all, I would recommend! "

"Charleston is a small college town. If you live in the "center city" it is easy to walk to all of the activities at Eastern Illinois Univ which is lots of fun. There is a lovely historic district bordering the campus to the north with lovely old homes of the Victorian/Edwardian era. Between EIU campus and the historic Square downtown is all historic district. Charleston is rich with Lincoln history and college vitality. It is a safe small town, nice for families as well as students and senior citizens. The person, "Terrie" who reviewed her housing and landlord problems did not review Charleston, nor did she say where her house is located. Every town has good and bad landlords and good and bad housing. Charleston is a college town and has both. For homeowners and permanent residents, as well as students, it can be a charming, midwestern town close to St. Louis, Champaign-Urbana and the Univ. of Illinois, Terre Haute and Indianapolis, IN but while being a one-two hour drive to big cities, it is a comfy, safe place to live.
