Situated in the gorgeous French Broad River valley amid the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky mountains, Asheville's natural beauty sets the tone for a place you will remember with your heart. Selected by AARP magazine as a top 15 dream town, "one of the best places to reinvent your life," it offers a little bit of something for everyone.
Gargoyles keep watch over an Art Deco skyline in a bustling downtown filled with high-tech and retail businesses. The great outdoors here are so spectacular that they netted Asheville the ranking of number 1 of 10 Great Adventure Towns by National Geographic Adventure magazine.
Asheville's size makes it the largest city in Western North Carolina, but surrounding towns in Buncombe County offer small town flair and varied amenities. Asheville Regional Airport serves the region for air travel, and a minor league baseball team mean that sports fun isn't hard to find.
Population is approximately 69,000 in the city and 215,000 in the county. Asheville's MSA is currently estimated at 386,000. The four-season temperate climate with average snowfall of only 13 inches makes year-round living easy. Average elevation is 2,165 feet above sea level with surrounding mountain elevations of up to 6,685 feet with Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi River. Because of this broad range of elevations and corresponding climates and plant growth, the area is one of the most biodiverse in the United States and the world.
Asheville's metropolitan area has a population of 400,000 and a $13.2 billion economy, with a diverse yet balanced mix of knowledge-based enterprises, advanced manufacturing, professional services, and growth industry companies.
