Central Asheville

Downtown Asheville is vibrant with exciting nightlife, art galleries, live music, unique retail shops, and outstanding eateries, and the distinctive architecture found there provides an appealing backdrop with its Art Deco, Neoclassical and Romanesque Revival designs.  The new Pack Square Park in the city’s center is home to multiple music and art events year-round. Lofts and condominiums are also located downtown.  Many of them have impressive views and due to their limited numbers, prices generally start around $300,000 and go up from there.

The Montford district north of downtown Asheville was originally developed in the 1890’s.  One of Asheville’s prominent neighborhoods, it was home to doctors, lawyers and businessmen of that day, and Biltmore House architect Richard Sharp Smith designed many of their houses.  However, in the 1930’s, Montford fell into decline.  Then in the mid-1990’s, folks willing to renovate and restore began discovering Montford..  Designated as a Historic District 1981, Montford is now a community alive with an active community association that takes pride in its past as well as its revival. 

Adjacent to Montford is Asheville’s Broadway Corridor and Five Points neighborhoods. There you will find 1920’s and 30’s vintage bungalow style homes close to all downtown amenities as well as popular grocers Trader Joe’s and Whole Food’s Greenlife.
