Yes you can find what you are looking for in Montford, it is a fairly quiet neighborhood, with some exceptions if you get unlucky with neighbors. There is a good mix of long term residents and groups of younger people renting out houses. Like I mentioned before you could get unlucky and have a loud neighbor, just like any neighborhood, but for the most part it seems fairly relaxed.
Many of the houses are pretty old which can give them a bunch of character but you also get the not-so-fun things that come along with older houses such as higher heating bills, and very few houses have central A/C. On the plus side nearly everything has a decently-sized yard. Costs are relatively high for the Asheville area, but coming from Baltimore you'll likely find people complaining about the prices hilarious.
I would suggest the house I'm moving out of, where the largest source of noise is the rumble from a neighbor's truck, but I'm not moving out until June 1st so that won't be helpful to you.

Our rental criteria is simple. We like a little space around us (if possible so close to town), quiet, a pet allowance and a property with some character/funk. Any help would be appreciated. This has been a big decision for us as we have lived in our current home in Baltimore for about 17 years. Thanks, Robert
