Young professionals, eh? Well, neighborhoods here aren't really separated that way, except for the expensive neighborhoods in Town Mountain, Kimberly Road, and a couple others. Really, everyone lives amongst one another, and it works well. North Asheville is a good place to look, especially the neighborhoods surrounding Hillside Street as it runs from Broadway Street to Charlotte Street. Most of the neighborhoods within that "Hillside grid" as I call it are very nice. Just make sure you tour houses before renting, because you could end up in a very nice-looking house that is actually a dump if you rent sight-unseen. Beaverdam Road is also a road surrounded by very nice neighborhoods. It's all about price range, as you will end up with a variety of neighbors regardless of where you live. It isn't really separated by social status.
Also, I wouldn't do the whole "young professional" look if I were you, personally, with the whole suit and tie thing all the time and dressing up real nice to go out. People just don't do that here, this is a super-laid-back town. Often, you could get stereotyped as being phony if you dress up really fancy to go out. Not saying just wear a T-shirt and jeans, just saying some folks around here are very adamant in their dislike of so-called "yuppies", so be aware of that. Seems like sometimes it's almost a competition of who can be the most outrageous, abnormal person in the room.
