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.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
