“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.”
