It's a great move for you and you're going to see a major economic boost from the difference between what you sell your house for there and what you can get here.

I'd suggest searching in Ashe, Watauga, Transylvania and Henderson Counties.

My favorite of the bunch and the one that should give you the best for what you want is Transylvania County. Brevard is a great, great little town and close to Asheville and Hendersonville, it's also right at the entrance to the Pisgah National Forest and within a couple of hours drive of Charlotte.

Go on Zillow and do some home shopping for Brevard, NC. 

Can we please not suggest Brevard to EVERYONE who inquires about moving to WNC . Brevard was way better until it started getting all the overflow from Asheville..now it's getting more and more like Asheville.

Brevard is fuging ruined. I was up there this past weekend trying to fish the Davidson. Despite it being cool and dreary the river was packed. Every trailhead overflowing. It's over for that town.

I have been toying with the idea of moving to the Carolina's since the pandemic.

I can work remotely and make the same amount, I own a home in Southern California and have two young children.

My wife and I have been discussing the pro's and con's, really it's just family at this point.

I would prob have to bring my mom and get a place with MIL suite or guest house.

Wanted to see if any locals could provide some insight on living in the following areas:

Ashville

Marion

Boone

Morganton

Hickory

 

We really want 4 seasons and a white Christmas guaranteed every year. I'm sick of neighbors, I want some land with a mountain view but also close enough to a downtown area, Target, Food, Shopping, Etc. Also be able to drive to see the Panthers as often as possible.

 

Anyone live in these cities or near by? Any ever make a move like this? Any other recommendations on towns in this area or with these requirements is greatly appreciated!

I had an opportunity to live in WNC for a while.  I'm not sure if you are looking for a big town or small town, but for families I would recommend Weaverville or Black Mountain.  Candler is also really great.  Hickory as its advantages because of location.

Hickory is a poo hole. I think they've found three bodies in the last three days. That place is going to hell in a hand basket. Big enough to have city problems, not big enough to have city amenities. 

Morganton sucks too. Spread the word. Please. I'm afraid we're on the Brevard path.

Hickory would not be my first choice. If I were to move back from Charleston I wouldn't go Western NC. I would target the Raleigh area.

You're getting Asheville refugees. All the rich and out of state work from home sorts have forced out the working stiffs.

A lot of the folks that used to want to be in Asheville are starting to branch out too. Asheville is ludicrously priced for WNC. Brevard, Black Mountain, Old Fort, all the way over to Morganton. They've all boomed in recent years and most of it is people starting to look beyond Asheville. Many due to price. Many due to wanting something smaller and quainter than Asheville. Many due to both. Around here we seem to be getting a lot of Long Islanders.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
