Have you searched for threads on Black Mountain in this forum? It's a very popular town for a lot of people. There is already a LOT of discussion on Black Mountain that's already posted. Then you might have more specific questions.
I would choose Hendersonville/Flat Rock over Black Mountain. More shopping, more restaurants, town is more vibrant and it is close to both Asheville and Greenville.
I love it, have family there and owned property there for many years. That being said, I don't think your real estate money goes a long way in Black Mountain due to high demand. Crime in BM is almost all property and drug-related and is probably no worse than anywhere else. As far as "whack jobs", an entertaining new feature of the weekly Black Mountain News is a front page series on new arrivals in town, all of whom seem to be wandering souls in search for their place on the karmic wheel. At least the town has a constant new stream of yoga instructors, potters, philosophers and eco-gardeners to buy up all of the property for sale.
