The epicenter of a vibrant and eclectic southern metropolis

Walkable Urban Breweries Hip Historic Arts Hip Nightlife Shopping Dining

In recent years, Asheville has developed a reputation as one of the hippest and most exciting cities in the South, and living downtown puts you at the center of it all. The city’s famous Art Deco architecture creates a picturesque setting with the surrounding mountains providing a beautiful scenic backdrop. On the west side, the historic Grove Arcade is surrounded by popular hangouts: whether you’re looking to eat, drink, or just go shopping, chances are you’ll find yourself walking this way pretty often. Beer lovers will be in heaven with a huge selection of breweries like Wicked Weed and Green Man as well as countless watering holes all around the neighborhood. Downtown is also a major hub for the arts, with tons of great galleries along Broadway and Biltmore, plus live music at venues like The Altamont and independent film screenings at Fine Arts Theatre. Living in Downtown Asheville puts the best of the city just a few steps outside your front door.
