    "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! "
  • Celeste Z.
    "The town is small overall so the commute to stores/EIU is not bad. There are taxis in town and buses available too. "

  • Andrew K.

    "No dog park but there are lots of sidewalks to take dogs and bike trails and hiking trails by the lake."
  • Heather p.
    "Red white and blue days, small town feel in general, our church family is amazing!... community breakfasts and dinners, the town rallies for the schools and all sports activities... just a lot of love here."
  • Leekzulu
    "I lived here since 2013. It’s a great community. However just like every city and town there are better areas than others. If you like small town living this is a good place to live. "
  • Kathleen O.
    "We’ve lived here for a year. People are nice and friendly. Love the small town atmosphere. My son attends Eastern Illinois University"
  • Allana R.
    "I’ve lived in Charleston my entire life. It’s always been a good place to live. Everyone is always so friendly. It’s great community to raise a family. "
  • Idfm96
    "I have lived in the same house my entire life. I can ride my bike anywhere I need to go. The library is amazing for kids stuff. There are also multiple parks within walking distance."
  • Colton199575
    "it's okay I guess not many friendly people and there's flooding and possums on. top of that lots of stuff close down early"
  • D a. C.
    "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.
