Whether you love the outdoors or the arts, there are plenty of attractions to choose from in Asheville, North Carolina. Known as both 'The Paris of the South' and 'The Land of the Sky,' Asheville is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains where the Swannanoa River and the French Broad River meet. Currently, there are 72,231 residents in the surrounding Buncombe County. The areas include Downtown, Albemarle Park, Biltmore Village, Oakley, Malvern Hills and West Asheville.
Asheville was first inhabited by the Cherokee Indians, but is said to be founded in 1784 when the first log cabin was built by Colonel Samuel Davidson. Over the years, Asheville has overcome many obstacles to become one of 'America's top 25 art destinations' by AmericanStyle magazine. During the 1930's-1980's, Asheville underwent a period of financial stagnation stemming from the Great Depression, which led to most of the buildings in downtown to receive no renovations. Because of this, the town is now complete with Art Deco architectural buildings (which were popular between 1920-1939). Asheville is most well known for one estate in particular: the Biltmore Estate. Built from 1888-1895 by George Washington Vanderbilt II, the estate is the largest privately-owned home in the United States. Today it has been opened to the public as a house museum and attracts more than one million tourists a year.
The Biltmore Estate is not the only thing to see around the city. There are countless areas around the Great Smokey Mountains National Park where backpackers, hikers and bird watchers are most common. Asheville is also home to the Bele Chere – the Southeast's largest free street festival that features more than 80 live bands. Or you can take a day to unwind from work and drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This Parkway stretches for miles along the mountains and keeps traffic at a minimum, having no access to any highways. If you want to make a pit stop, there are many choices outside of the vehicle. You can take the family on off-road trails for mountain biking, go fly-fishing, gem mining, whitewater rafting (Asheville was ranked as one of the top five cities offering the best whitewater experiences), skiing, hiking and more. The National Geographic Adventure magazine named Asheville the number one adventure town in the US.
Cheer on the Asheville Tourists (baseball) and the Asheville Grizzlies (football) during a night out on the town. You can also partake in the region's 45 area farmer tailgate markets featuring homemade jellies, locally grown produce and other agricultural traditions.
To join the fun on a daily basis, the real estate market in Asheville is ready to meet your needs and is continuously growing. During 2005, 1,844 Asheville units for sale were sold at a mean selling price of $264,030. There were 3,550 Asheville homes sold out of 7,844 in the state.
