Dupont City, WV

Dupont City is a quiet, small community tucked along the Kanawha River, just five miles southeast of downtown Charleston. With around 600 residents, it gives locals a calm, suburban feel while keeping the capital city's jobs, dining, and entertainment only a short drive away. Its location along Route 60 makes getting around the valley straightforward, whether you are heading into Charleston for work or visiting neighboring spots like Malden and Belle.

Longtime locals often know the area for its sports history at the former DuPont High School, which famously produced athletic stars Randy Moss and Jason Williams before merging into Riverside High. Today, the neighborhood is a peaceful residential spot along the valley floor, offering affordable living close to river views, local parks, and outdoor recreation at Kanawha State Forest.
