Blue Ridge Parkway: East Asheville has easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, where many enjoy hiking on the Mountains to Sea Trail right off 74-A, cycling with the many local riding clubs, or visiting the Folk Art Center.
East Asheville boasts a mix of rural properties and established neighborhoods. With easy access to recreation on the Blue Ridge Parkway, yet less than 10 minutes to Downtown Asheville, residents of East Asheville have the best of both worlds.
