Boone has a very young demographic due to the university there so very different vibe that way. I love college towns so it works for me. Come back and check Boone and Blowing Rock, etc out next time.
I like how close Black Mountain is to Asheville. It's a good bit closer than Brevard is. Black Mountain is 20 minutes to downtown Asheville so easy to pop over for a meal or movie or just to run to a special store, not to mention a concert. Brevard is 45min - 1hr from Asheville so it takes more planning.
