Montford is a historic district just Northwest of downtown Asheville. The main commercial corridor, Montford Avenue, is lined with enormous hardwoods and gorgeous homes, mostly from the early 1900s, in a vast array of architectural styles. A handful of establishments such as Nile Mile Caribbean cuisine and Chiesa Italian Restaurant make this neighborhood have a sense of community. Additionally, there is a small park and a community center with tennis courts and a wooded amphitheater, perfect for a stroll to entertainment.

2. Grove Park - North:
One of Asheville's oldest and most distinguished planned neighborhoods, the Grove Park neighborhood, lies just north of downtown. Charlotte Street serves as the vital avenue for this part of town. Though this neighborhood is more elongated, stretching all the way to the Grove Park Inn, many residents can be seen taking the tree-lined sidewalks to the dining on Charlotte Street. You can get the flavor of this neighborhood by checking out restaurants like the Asian cuisine of Ghanshan Station and pastries at City Bakery.

Of all of these walkable neighborhoods, West Asheville has perhaps the most robust and distinctive mini-downtown area of its own. Haywood Road is a revitalized thoroughfare lined with pubs, restaurants, and boutiques. Bike corrals and pedestrian crossings encourage green forms of transportation. Architectural styles range from smaller historic bungalows to mid-century ranchers to newer green homes. There are several parks, a public library, bookstore, yoga studio and more to walk to!

4. Biltmore Park - South:
The newer south Asheville community of Biltmore Park is a planned town center surrounded by a suburban neighborhood of larger homes built around 1990-2010. The concept of this neighborhood was designed to promote smart growth and walkability. Sidewalks are the norm and you can walk to many stores, restaurants, and even the YMCA. The mountains to sea trail passes close by the edge of the neighborhood.

5. River Arts District - Central:
The River Arts District is one of Asheville's newest revitalized areas. Sitting along the banks of the French Broad River and crisscrossed with railroad tracks, it has long been an industrial area. Manufacturing warehouses are slowly making way for artist's studios and historic buildings are being rehabbed into breweries, restaurants, and bars. Sidewalks and bike lanes help pedestrians access downtown and the nearby river park. Much fo the housing in this area is either bungalow-style homes, condos, or studio apartments.
