Community Information: Weaverville, NC
What three words would you use to describe the charming town of Weaverville, NC? A local business manager gives her answer.
WNC Communities:
Downtown Living in WNC:
Three words that come to mind. One of them is “Mayberry”, because it’s sort of like that small town feel, kids and young people, old people walking down the street. There’s like holiday parades and candlelight strolls, and it just feels really cute. I think “eclectic” too, just because there are the old timers who have been here a long time. This area is attracting new people all the time, and so it’s really sort of becoming a little melting pot of lots of great, wonderful people of all walks of life—artists, professionals, families, it’s really kind of everyone.
Then maybe just like, not one word but like, small little mountain town—super cute. Main Street has this very small town feel. It’s not very big. There’s tons of great restaurants and cafes and bakeries, little small town florists, cool art galleries, Mangum Pottery is here on Main Street. It's wonderful to walk around Lake Louise, play with the kids in the park, so there’s tons of fun things to do.
Not only do you have the small, quaint, beautiful little Main Street in small town of Weaverville, but then you have the whole surrounding areas. Reems Creek, for example, which is a great farming community, the Blue Ridge Parkway is just minutes away, there’s lots of beautiful, beautiful really country around here. You can drive 10 minutes away and you can be in the country.
Weaverville is just about 10 minutes north of Asheville, so very, very close to that city kind of feel, two hours from the big city of Charlotte. Then if you’re heading sort of north, Madison County is right there, Hot Springs Spa, all these beautiful little mountain oases with lots of really, really rural areas and beautiful countryside and farms. It definitely is a little slice of paradise in the mountains, that’s for sure.

“Asheville is a happening place,” says Kit Cramer, President and CEO of the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce. “It's exciting and fun. People who come to Asheville are looking for quality of life.
“People love to experience this area, and people are really learning a lot more about what Asheville has to offer in terms of arts, music, food, outdoor activities—all those types of things,” says Kramer. “They love the beauty of the natural environment, but they also love that they can access that very quickly. We're a cosmopolitan city in a small package. So you can quickly get to a hiking trail. Or if you wanna kayak or you wanna bike, you can easily get to those things. So, we've got big city amenities within a small package.
“Asheville is attractive to a pretty broad cross section of people,” says Kramer. “We're seeing a lot of young people, a lot of creative talent moving to town because of the vibe of the place. But there are also a lot of retirees who move to the area and people with families. So it's a pretty broad cross section of people coming from around the country to live here.
“Asheville is the hub of a whole region,” says Kramer. “People come from 10 counties around Asheville, into work each day, so if you're into a rural setting, you can do that and still be able to access work here in Asheville.
“Asheville has a mixture of neighborhoods,” says Kramer. “That's one of the things that makes it really cool. You can live right downtown, or you can live in a historic neighborhood. You could live in the River Arts District. There are lots of different styles of life in this particular community.
“I think we're gonna continue to see growth in Asheville and the region over time of business and opportunity for people who wanna move here,” says Kramer. “Plus, we're gonna continue to see a growth in terms of visitorship. And once they get introduced, they're really interested in coming back here—Perhaps making it a second home location or finding a way to relocate here full time. It's a great place to be.”

“Burnsville is kind of a cool place to be,” says Jamie McMahan, Yancey County Planner. “Our outdoor recreation has always been some of the best you’ll find on the east coast. The local art is some of the best in the nation. Downtown here—you can walk through the square, do a ‘360,’ look around—it’s Norman Rockwell. I mean, you can’t beat it.”
“You’re close to Asheville if you want the hustle and bustle, and if you don’t want the hustle and bustle, you’re just 35 minutes away,” says McMahan. “It’s the reason we have a lot of folks who live here, [who] both enjoy Asheville and Boone, but they want to be where life is a little slower. You can get to know your neighbors, and that’s what I think about when I think of Yancey County and Burnsville.”
“We draw a lot of people who come to Burnsville who plan other outdoor recreation,” says McMahon. “So many hiking trails. Of course, we're home to Mount Mitchell, the tallest peak east of the Rockies. Actually, 10 of the tallest peaks east of the Rockies are in Yancey County. So, a lot of outdoor recreation, a lot of people who are looking for fishing, hunting, hiking. We're ideally located sort of centrally to all those sorts of things. Burnsville is sort of the place where you can come hang out, have a coffee, do some shopping, if you’re not sweating on the trails somewhere, trying to pull a trout out of a stream nearby.”
“The retail merchants that you’ll find on Main Street are 100% independent retailers,” says McMahon. “All do a very thriving business, making it a sort of a very pedestrian friendly, very walkable, very energetic place downtown.”
“Yancey County and Burnsville are sort of going through a renaissance,” says McMahon. “The arts community here is very thriving. We're home to more artists per capita than any other place in the nation. Everything from fine arts to arts and crafts, blown glass, pottery. The Parkway Playhouse is just off of downtown, which is the longest running community theatre in North Carolina.”
“But most recently, we’ve actually had sort of a tech surge,” says McMahon. “Yancey County is also the only county in North Carolina to have 100% connectivity by fiber to the home. So no matter wherever you live in our rocky terrain here in Yancey County, because we’re pretty mountainous, you can be served with up to a full gig of service by fiber connection.”
“It’s a very wide and diverse group of folks who come here,” says McMahon. “We have a lot of native-born folks who grew up here and realize it to be the best place in the world. We have a lot of people who come here as soon as they can, as I like to put it—so, as soon as they discover Burnsville and Yancey County. So, a lot of folks who come from, really, all over the country have settled here and make it, really, a vibrant community.”
“To watch Burnsville change, as it’s changed and evolved and grown as a small town—I think it’s the ideal small town,” says McMahon. “And if you like that kind of small town life, you want to take it a little slower, a little easier—you couldn’t find a better place to be.”

BHTV: Opportunities Abound for Equestrian Living in WNC -
“When I lived in Florida, every summer we came to this area to horse show. And one summer, I opened a magazine and saw the real estate prices and I thought, ‘Why am I living in Florida?’” says Martha Hall, Tryon resident. “The next thing I knew, I owned property here. I moved here 10 years ago with Elmo and a couple of my other horses and I’ve never looked back. I have no desire to go anywhere else. It’s just the greatest place to live.”
“Here, you know, you can buy so much more and have so much more,” says Martha. “I mean, you’ve got views, you’ve got this land, you’ve got riding facilities, you’ve got trail systems—it’s totally unique to anywhere I’ve been.”
“This area, I think, has just as many good riding days but a more temperate climate,” says Martha. “The [thermal] belt truly is cooler in the summer here and warmer in the winter than up on top of the mountain in Asheville.”
“And one of the things that people look at when they’re looking for real estate is [whether] the property is on a trail system. You can ride straight from your home right onto a trail system,” says Martha.
“The other interesting thing that’s happening in this area that’s very, very exciting is the equestrian center. They put in close to $100 million in this development—so it’s a world-class facility that draws international riders. And it will be a huge mecca for the show population.”
“This is not only a lifestyle here, it's a great community of people with really interesting backgrounds,” says Martha. “You've got a very cosmopolitan blend of people that live here.”
“We love the Asheville and the Hendersonville area,” says Martha. “There’s all kinds of natural resources. We like to hike, we take our horses up to the Biltmore [Estate], we do trail riding in DuPont [State Recreational] Forest—so there’s lots of things to do.”
“You can enjoy the benefits of having all that right in our own backyard.”
