6/29/2019What they wrote is true. What has happened in many other states/cities has happened to AVL = The promotion and growth of this area is exactly what is eliminating its former virtues. Last year, for work we lived there one year (renting). Infrastructures are overloaded. Hendersonville Rd-25, i40 & i26, Sweeten Creek, Long Shoals backups. Too much growth not enough planning (except for more hotels). The current Real Estate market is a complete frenzy. From Weaverville N. down to Brevard S., Black Mnt E. & Canton W. A $250,000 budget could only buy1940s, 50s, 60, 70s junk houses/condos which needed huge amounts of work. Even these were quickly purchased by the cash investors for rentals or flippers to update and sell for more $$$. Sadly, you do not get a good value for your money in this market. I loved the climate, views, & the mnts, note: the BRP is always overrun with sightseers, bicyclist, hikers, etc. I loved the everyday S, AVL & meeting really nice people but the downside outweigh the ups.
