What is there to love about Asheville? Only everything.
The city is known for attracting individuals, people who are not afraid to challenge conventional thinking and cultural norms. There are creative, innovative companies throughout the region, ranging from small businesses to major corporations. Our area has grown rapidly in the last several decades, due in part to a strong economy made up of primarily independent businesses. Almost all of the retail shops and restaurants downtown, as well as those in West Asheville, are exclusive to the area. People move here for access to outdoor activities like hiking and mountain biking, where they can escape to the peacefulness and serenity of the woods. Roads like the famous Blue Ridge Parkway beckon residents and visitors to put away their phone, their email, and their clock and go see something they have never seen. There is certainly a spirit of independence here in western North Carolina.
More people are moving to our area than ever. One of the after-effects of the global pandemic is the rise in the prevalence of working remotely. Many have decided if they are going to work from home, they would like to do it somewhere with a view.
We applaud those who have determined to live in a place they love. When it comes to education in this area, those who feel individualistic can benefit from enrolling their child in an independent school.
