SOME OF OUR FAVORITE PLACES IN THE ASHEVILLE AREA

Asheville NC has wonderful options for downsizers, seniors, and empty nesters of all ages.

A city of several names, Asheville NC is diverse in many ways. Whether you’re an architecture aficionado, brew buff, or nature nut, there is something here for every walk of life!

The Paris of the South” is one moniker for this culturally rich city, giving a nod to the commonalities that it shares with the City of Lights, including a thriving art scene and impressive architecture. The River Arts District is a one mile radius just minutes from downtown, featuring over 20 exhibit spaces and works from over 200 local artists. Find your own spot in this creative community by engaging in a variety of hands-on workshops and classes. 

Asheville is best known for Biltmore Estate, the largest private residence in the country at over 175,000 square feet, with grounds that span 8,000 acres. Tours are offered of the art-laden home, and guests can enjoy over 20 miles of trails through the gardens. Also on the premises is the award-winning Biltmore Winery, offering reds, whites, and everything in between. Additionally, the estate includes a restaurant, spa, and several options for guest accommodations so you can truly make the most of your visit by stretching it out over several days.

Be sure to explore Biltmore Park, a village-esque neighborhood in south Asheville. With a blend of residential and office buildings, Biltmore Park Town Square offers plenty of shopping opportunities from locally owned boutiques to larger retailers. This area is bustling with community activities including a weekly farmers market and a free summer concert series.

Asheville’s nickname “The Land of the Sky” was earned by the sprawling, scenic landscapes of the area with a backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains reaching towards the stratosphere. While these beautiful views can be enjoyed from just about anywhere in the area, there are some notable green spaces that enhance the visual impact. Just south of town is The North Carolina Arboretum, offering a deep dive into the botanical diversity of the surrounding areas through its 65 acres of gardens, featuring over 10 miles of trails that visitors are welcome to hike or bike. To get a closer look at the wildlife native to the area, visit the Western North Carolina Nature Center, exhibiting black bears, otters, and even a cougar at this family-friendly zoo.

Beer City, USA” is a proud descriptor for this brew-forward community, with the most breweries per capita in the nation.  The city hosts a plethora of brewing festivals year round, most notably the weeklong celebration of Asheville Beer Week in May, which includes Beer City Festival hosted at local hotspot, Pack Square Park. This community green space is at the center of the city, and offers a perfect backdrop for countless local events.

Just an hour southwest of Asheville, this area is flush with green spaces and is wedged between Pisgah National Forest, Gorges State Park, and DuPont State Recreational Forest. With a plethora of outdoor adventures to be had, including hiking, fly fishing, and over 300 miles of top-rated mountain biking trails, visitors are sure to find a connection with nature.

Brevard is a tightly knit community, with an All-American Main Street including a variety of local shops and dining options. Downtown is host to community festivals throughout the year, including a Fourth of July celebration, Halloweenfest, and The White Squirrel Festival, a local favorite. As the most famous residents of Brevard, these pale critters have been seen throughout town dating back to their escape from a traveling carnival in the 1950s.

Despite being a small mountain town, Brevard has big heart, and an art scene to match. This vibrant community is home to Porter Center for Performing Arts at Brevard College and the world-famous Brevard Music Center, host to the annual Summer Institute & Festival. Brevard also hosts a 4th Friday Gallery Walk monthly from April to December, featuring local artworks in the galleries and businesses downtown.

One of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods, Connestee Falls, lies in the mountains above Brevard. This gated community has a passion for preserving the natural environment, and offers spectacular views. The first class amenities include a private park with lakes, waterfalls, and trails; a clubhouse with a golf course, pickleball and tennis courts, and a wellness center; and over 60 clubs and groups designed with residents in mind.
