Any thoughts on Asheville? (place to live, estate, retirement)

[jebby16]

I visited the Biltmore Estate last year and stayed one night in Asheville. I've been hearing lots about it lately.

Is it a good place to live? Perhaps grow a family? Thanks.

Asheville is a great area to live, one of the best small metro areas in the nation. The city of Asheville itself is a little expensive, but outlying towns are affordable. But the economy revolves around the tourism/retirement industry, so it's best to have a job already lined up or have something you can do from home/internet, ect. But if those things are in place, I'd highly recommend Asheville. Good luck!!!
