Review of Asheville, North Carolina


Home Sweet Home
Star Rating - 10/22/2018
Asheville is my hometown and I think you are always biased about your hometown, but I think Asheville is an amazing city. It definitely has its quirks. It is the home to retirees, trust fund babies and people just getting along. The housing market is crazy, just like any other upcoming/popular city, same with traffic and job opportunities. However, the culture is overflowing. Foodtopia is Asheville's second name. There is so much to do from actual local shopping, breweries, restaurants, music venues, outdoor activities, etc. The people are very friendly and Asheville has a very diverse community. Asheville proper steers to the left and the surrounding rural areas steer to the right, as they do in most cities. Asheville is very pet friendly and Fido can come along on most adventures. The airport is working hard to include more flights to major cities all the time and working to add more airlines as well. I currently live in Seattle and see a lot similarities between the two cities and also a lot of differences. Even if you don't want to live in the Blue Ridge Mountains (how could you not though?), you should visit Asheville and experience its southern mountain charm.

"Diverse community"?? There is no diversity in Asheville. It's 70% white. When I lived there the only "diversity" was the mixture of white people - skater kids, retirees, hipsters, and hippies.

Southern mountain charm? You're joking! This area may lie in the South but it is not a southern cultural area. This is a "Appalachian culture" with its typical negatives. Apparently those who think Asheville is wonderful have never been out of the county. Something not unusual for this dirty, poor area.
