Asheville Living: An Oasis of Cool in NC

Asheville Living: An Oasis of Cool in NC

Having recently arrived in Asheville as a new resident from living in Prague, Czech Republic for the past 12 years and abroad for 16,  I wondered how my re-entry into American Life would be starting in a southern city I had never even explored before.  I had heard whispered myths that Asheville was becoming the new Austin.

When my husband and I first arrived on our home search visit we were both literally shocked at the number of pedestrians on the streets and even more so by the fact that in one city block we heard no less than three foreign languages.  We quickly became aware that Asheville was more of an international Oasis with very down to earth and intelligent locals all around. ciel.bedroom

The City of Asheville becomes more and more interesting daily as I drive unknown streets and realize in most places I turn I can see the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains, a unique boutique, a vintage record shop, or a restaurant with a name like Plant or Table.  I find that I’m in a place of collision, where Park Slope, Brooklyn meets Charleston meets Austin and makes one very dynamically cultural, enthusiastically artistic, and unpretentiously chic place to live.

This blog will follow our journey into Asheville Living and hopefully provide insight on interesting events, shopping, architecture, and of course Asheville real estate, as we can’t love design and our life style without having great real estate to house our lives in.
