Asheville Area

Asheville lies between the beautiful Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains in Western North Carolina and is located two-hours west of Charlotte and three hours north of Atlanta. This charming city nicknamed “The Land of the Sky” has been chosen as one of the best places to live and has been written up by publications such as, The New York Times, Southern Living, Money, Mountain Bike, Outside Magazine, National Geographic Traveler, Rand McNally and AARP Magazine.

Asheville offers a wonderful quality of life and presents the familiarity and tranquil lifestyle of a small city with out sacrificing the cultural, economic influences and conveniences of a big city. Everyone who has been here has either taken pleasure in its breathtaking scenery, local arts and crafts, festive events, year round outdoor activities, or historic attractions such as the famous Grove Park Inn and Spa and the Biltmore House and Estate.  With its temperate climate and ideal location, it is no wonder Asheville has been rated one of the most desirable place to live in the United States.
