I plan on retiring early. It’s just my wife & I. We are looking for towns to research to retire to. We’re not looking for the city life. We like a country setting. However, nothing too rural. We want to be within 10-15 minutes to major stores & supermarkets. Although no medical issues, we’d like to be 20-30 minutes to a major hospital. A condo would be ideal, otherwise a small ranch style home will do. Budget is 400k +/-
Thanks!

Mountain, but not too isolated. So somewhere in between? I have Asheville on my list. LOL Thanks!

Lots of places with 30 minutes or so of Asheville...Hendersonville, Waynesville, Black Mountain, Weaverville and others. Might also want to consider Boone.

James:
Thank you! So far I researched Black Mountain & Boone. Exactly what I’m looking for! Still searching the others. Thanks again! Happy Holidays! |

You're welcome! I also neglected to mention Hendersonville is more/less on a plateau at 2150 feet meaning there's not a lot of variation of incline, which eliminates much of the scare factor of icy road conditions in winter. |

Yes, one of the many things I like about Hendersonville. The drive to our home is ‘relatively’ flat (WNC term) but the back of our house at 2650 ft., has a very nice Mountain View overlooking Hendersonville/FlatRock. Hendersonville has plenty of retail, and even more a little north toward AVL. There is close-in rural living here. We live 10 minutes southwest of Hendersonville, but our development is ‘in the woods’. |
