Sylva seems like a town that someone would dream up on a Hollywood sound stage. Just an hour west of Asheville in the Nantahala National Forest, Sylva’s West Main St. is still lined with buildings dating back to the 1800s. Aside from new tenants that have kept the mountain town a popular tourist destination, Sylva looks like a place frozen in time.
Popular annual events keep the town buzzing almost all year long. Greening Up the Mountains, put on during the fourth Sunday in April, brings over 10,000 visitors to the town to celebrate the beginning of spring and the history of Appalachian arts and crafts. Sylva is also a popular fishing spot, and the Hook, Line, & Sinker Festival turns a whole weekend into celebration of the culture. Sylva was the setting of a few movies, including 2017’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Sylva’s real estate market is colorful, albeit small. Charming cabins and single-family homes are more prominent than apartment units in this scenic setting. It’s a fantastic area to settle in for those looking for a rural, yet engaging city.
As of March 2025, the average apartment rent in Sylva, NC is $833 for two bedrooms. Apartment rent in Sylva has increased by 1.2% in the past year.
