With picture-perfect downtown Hendersonville just eight minutes from The Boulders, you get the best of both worlds – mountain solitude and endless city pleasures. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Hendersonville is bursting with charm, history and imagination. While away hours wandering the streets lined with quaint specialty shops selling unique creations and artsy treasures, antique shops and wonderful restaurants.

You’ll find an abundance of culture, art shows, street parades and festivals, such as Labor Day’s NC Apple Festival, which draws 250,000 enthusiasts. On the first Friday of each month, stroll Main Street’s galleries, studios and restaurants as they stay open late in celebration of the arts. Head over to nearby Flat Rock and visit the acclaimed Playhouse, one of America's top 10 summer stock theaters; explore Pulitzer prize winner, historian and author, Carl Sandburg’s home, or get a dose of culture at the Flat Rock Playhouse or the Brevard Music Center. Also, coming soon is an exciting new addition to Main Street with The Mills Center for the Arts, a $22 million center with a 1200-seat concert hall, children’s museum, exhibit areas and a “black box theatre” for performance art.

Blessed with the ideal climate of four distinct yet moderate seasons, living in Hendersonville also means a lifestyle of outdoor adventure. With the Pisgah National Forest, Chimney Rock Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway at your doorstep, you will find nature at your beck and call. Find serenity in the towering forests, be calmed by the mountains and get inspired by a raging waterfall. Living in Hendersonville gives you instant access to sports, adventure, walking, hiking, golfing and biking. Or opt for nothing more that the peace and tranquility of your home in the gorgeous mountains.

Cradled between the Great Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains, Hendersonville is also next door to Asheville, a sophisticated, hip and chic city of thriving arts, spectacular dining and cultural delights.

Add to the mix a thriving business community, excellent medical facilities and superb schools and you get a lifestyle and quality of living that is incomparable and unparalleled.
