Asheville

Located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville offers breath-taking views, a diverse population, architectural beauty, a moderate climate, a solid job market and numerous outdoor recreational activities. The appeal is evident in Asheville’s consistent appearance on many “best of” lists each year.  Accolades range from best places to live, to work and to retire! **Click Here** for more information on Asheville’s “best of” designations.

Asheville has been nicknamed “the Paris of the south,” and its culture is yet another drawing card.  Galleries showcase the wonderful results of an active, large arts community.  Eateries like Tupelo Honey, Sunny Point and 12 Bones have achieved national acclaim while smaller local favorites like the Admiral, Curate and Bouchon continue to impress.  And these are just a few of the many, many restaurants (and food trucks) that prosper here. The music scene in Asheville is an electric, ever-growing presence.  Both artists and fans are drawn to the city and can be found playing, recording or just plain enjoying the array of music that radiates from the clubs, pubs and concert venues in the area.

Conveniently located, Asheville is an easy drive from larger cities and the Atlantic coast.  Charlotte, NC is just two hours away.  Knoxville, TN is one and one-half hours away.  Atlanta, GA is three and one-half hours.  And if you’d like to slip away to the beach, a four to five hour drive will take you to South Carolina's Charleston and Myrtle Beach.
