Once you’ve seen Asheville you’ll be spoiled for any other city
All it takes is a short stroll among its beautiful Neoclassical, Romanesque Revival and Art Deco architecture to see why Asheville, North Carolina, known as the “Paris of the Southeast,” is one of the most sough-after places to live in this part of the country.
This wonderful city of approximately 72,000 people in the mountainous western part of the Tar Heel state, offers so much culture, history and gracious southern charm that anyone considering a new home in Asheville, NC is making a move they’ll be glad about for the rest of their days.
Asheville regularly appears on national rankings of the best places in America to live. AmericanStyle magazine says it’s one of America’s top 25 destinations for art. CBS news calls it a “New Age Mecca,” while Self magazine declares Asheville one of the “happiest cities for women” in the country. Something’s clearly going on here. Part of it is the weather. Asheville’s climate is typical of the southeastern U.S. (average high temperature in May is 76° F) but tends to be slightly cooler and drier owing to the higher altitude of the fabled Blue Ridge Mountains in which it’s located. There’s so much rich culture and so much to do in this wonderful “small-town” metropolis (both indoors and outdoors) that you may not end up spending all that much time in your new home in Asheville NC. Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Belle Chere, the southeast’s largest street festival, the stunning Blue Ridge Parkway, and Biltmore Village, a premier destination for fine arts and antiquing, are but a few of the city’s rich and enduring draws.
