The Vibe of West Asheville and Surrounding Neighborhoods
Cookie cutter houses are a thing of the past in Asheville, NC! West Asheville incorporates its funky vibe into Asheville real estate; transforming properties into works of art and is becoming one of the best places to live in Western North Carolina in close proximity to downtown. A collection of luxury homes and quaint cottages showcase their sculpted lawns accented by vibrant colors; while downtown boasts a plethora of galleries, exhibits, and exotic restaurants.
In 1885, Haywood Road went under development; linking side streets where historic Asheville real estate captures the eye of many baby boomers. The Carrier Park racetrack, once referred to as Carrier Field, lays along the French Broad River where streaming waters sparkle a reflection along the historic structure.
Downtown Asheville is now a growing hotspot for trendy cafes and local drafts. Grab a pint at Admiral, Isis, or The Walk, where live music fills the air as you fill your bellies with succulent soul food. The Admiral has pride in its one-of-a-kind pork belly that is sure to get your taste buds jumping, while Sunny Point Cafe’s breakfast is so mouthwateringly good that diners will wait for hours just to get a taste of their scrumptious hotcakes. Get in line early, because everyone in town knows Sunny Point is the best place for a fresh and delicious breakfast sandwich.
