Perspectives on the Region: “My family and I were drawn to Asheville and Western North Carolina as it is one of the most naturally beautiful places in the country. Asheville is very unique and has a lot to it in the way of a large city, such as art, music, great restaurants and shopping, but also has the best of a small town with the sense of community, friendly neighbors and a strong focus on family life. Everyone has been very welcoming, and we look forward to raising our family here.”
