That is an average, so a handful of homes that sat for months pulls it upward. Most homes in Charlestown go under contract faster than that figure suggests.

Across every price range on both sides of the river, closing takes about another month after the contract is signed — that interval is set by lender underwriting and title work, not by the neighborhood.

Where exactly is Charlestown?

Charlestown is in northeastern Clark County, Indiana, next to the River Ridge Commerce Center. ZIP 47111 covers the town and a wide band of surrounding Clark County.

Charlestown is in northeastern Clark County, beside the River Ridge Commerce Center — the redevelopment of the shuttered Indiana Army Ammunition Plant, which is also what swelled the town's population from 900 to more than 13,000 during the war years. Charlestown State Park sits a mile east of town on the Ohio River, on land that was part of the same plant before it was handed to the state. ZIP 47111 covers the town and a wide band of surrounding Clark County, so a Charlestown address is not necessarily a Charlestown town address.

What is Charlestown actually like?

Charlestown's median is $319,900, up 18.5% — the biggest jump of any market on this site, and the number that needs the most explaining. That figure reflects a change in what is selling, not appreciation on existing homes. Most of the higher-priced sales here are new construction going up around the River Ridge corridor.

It is also one of only two markets on this site where homes close above asking on average: 101.3%. That is not a bidding war. On a new build, buyer-selected upgrades get added after the contract is written, so the closed price lands above the contract price. Charlestown also takes the longest to go under contract of any Indiana town at an average 47 days, with 4.05 months of inventory — slow and over asking at the same time, which only makes sense once you know what is being built.

What schools serve Charlestown?

Charlestown is served primarily by Greater Clark County Schools. Some addresses in the western part of the 47111 ZIP are served by the Borden-Henryville School Corporation instead. Check the address before you assume. Indiana school assignment is set by the district and should be confirmed with the district directly before it is relied on for a purchase decision.
