Hey, Asheville residents: especially South Asheville......
Any opinions on Oak Park neighborhood. We found a house we like there but it seems a little too close for my liking to 25. I'd love your input.

I had no idea that so many Floridians were moving to N.C. I never felt so trendy.I can't wait to find my new (old) house. Craigslist has a lot of homes for sale and rent. One of them is in Murphy. Does anyone know about Murphy?
Yes, Murphy is retiree mecca right now. I am from Naples and seems like all the retired people here are buying there and surrounding little towns. We looked at homes there a few years ago, but with young children, it was a little desolate for our needs. There is no major shopping close by and not a whole lot to do 'cept stare at the woods and mountains.
I grew up in the 1960's /1970's in an area called Needle Park ( see Al Pacino movie circa 1971 ) in NYC. When I moved to rural New Hampshire in 1972 I was shocked to find older teenagers telling me of heroin being available in the town of 5,000. It can't be better now among kids, maybe just not much worse.
I think it is Ok in Oak park. You will need 25 (hendersonville Rd). That is a very popular road for shopping...etc. I know a famly in tehre. They like it.
No need to be scared. The truth is always good, right??? I am staying here. Just thought people should know the truth. If you think it is cheaper to move here from FL, ,like we did, you are wrong. I mentioned great things about Asheville as well. And if people don't believe the drug problem here, call the police dept. 70% of the crime here is drug related.
Sprtslver is from Atlanta. I have no idea why anything he/she said is relevent!!!
Welcome!
