Upper Falls sits along the Coal River, where water spills over sandstone ledges and life moves at a comfortable pace. Residents enjoy a tucked-away feel with easy drives to Charleston and St. Albans, all within Kanawha County conveniences.
Weekends often start on the water: paddle the Coal River Water Trail from the namesake falls, cast for smallmouth from quiet eddies, or photograph mist rising at sunrise. Nature lovers explore trails at the Forks of Coal State Natural Area, while mountain bikers and hikers prize miles of singletrack in nearby Kanawha State Forest. Afterward, head into town for local diners and riverfront parks.
Families appreciate the public school network through Kanawha County Schools, with neighborhood elementary options, established middle schools, and a path to St. Albans High School. Daily essentials are close—grocers, pharmacies, and services—yet the setting still feels green. Commuters value straightforward routes to valley employers, and buyers love having a put-in or trailhead minutes from the driveway.
Whether you’re dreaming of a cabin-by-the-river vibe or a classic suburban home with speedy city access, Upper Falls offers both. If you’re buying or selling here, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands the river, the roads, and the market.
