Review of Asheville, North Carolina

Living in the Asheville area
Star Rating - 9/27/2014
Hello all,

Regular family with a nine yr old here looking to get away from the overcrowded and steamy S Fla. We've visited Asheville and really loved downtown, Biltmore, and the mountains; however, we don't know the area. We'd really appreciate any objective input from people in the know within a 20 mile radius. We highly value safe/healthy living, great schools, friendly people, and mountain views.
Thanks for your time.

I relocated from the northern Great Lakes area to Waynesville, NC in 2004. I had very little problem with the locals, most were accepting. The few that did have issues, I just told them I was tired of snow and FL was too hot. I stayed there for 6 years before going north to TN which has an even lower cost of living but have a hard time with 'outsiders'.

Did you ever receive any advice? What did you decide to do? My family is in a similar situation, but are just beginning our decision making process.
