New York Inc., estimates that one third of Charleston was residential, one third had commercial and industrial properties, and one third was parkland. As of 2002, the majority of houses in Charleston are single-family houses. The varieties of houses in Charleston include ranch houses, raised ranch houses, Victorian houses, detached Colonial houses, and French mansard houses. A significant number of houses in Charleston are around 70 to 80 years old and have prices ranging from $179,900 to $580,000, with the former representing the costs of a ranch house. Houses built within several years until 2002 tend to be semidetached houses within a $200,000 to $300,000 price range grouped in enclaves, or large custom detached houses with prices at or above $500,000.

The Zappalorti murder sparked successful renewed calls for New York State to adopt enhanced penalties for crimes motivated by bias.
