We look forward to coming back (for the 4th time)! We love the neighbhood and the house was an ideal place for us. Great nearby amenities (check out Battle Cat Coffee and a few breweries, get an early reservation to eat ag the admiral, walk down to the River Arts district, grab another table at Vivian’s, walkable to farmers markets Wed., Fr., Saturday and other community gatherings. Plenty of live music nearby, including an outdoor venue. For my $$$$, venture into the main downtown area maybe once. You’ll get a much more enjoyable time in the neighborhoods. Visit the Asheville Botanical Garden (free for a light or longer hike, it’s great for kids with multiple ‘passports’ free for pickup themed on a different nature topics, not far from Burial and Green Man breweries and other stuff nearby.
