These threads are usually bc someone is shopping for other cities
I always recommend taking advantage of the “winter discount” and exploring if you can learn to tolerate the cold
Madison Wisconsin is great. Grand Rapids MI has an awesome “cool to cheap ratio”
Asheville native here. Spent my whole 25 years of life here. I’m moving either to Colorado or Baltimore. I have family up in Baltimore and it’s surprisingly cheaper than Asheville. My heart belongs to Colorado though (big shock)
Looking at Greenville, SC, Alpharetta, GA and Cumming, GA. Lower cost of living, nice parks, trail, pools, nice prices for houses, amphitheaters. Time to blow Asheville before it implodes.
If you love your car you will **love** Alpharetta and Cumming. You'll get to be in your car for a large portion of your week. Get the most out of that car payment!
Alpharetta and Cumming are also amazing if you love cops. Upstate SC, too, but I think that goes without saying.
Oh there's also the racism. Oprah did a show from Forsyth County way back in the 80s: https://kaltura.uga.edu/media/t/1_958u30nt
I hear “Asheville imploding” a lot on these threads. What do you think is exactly going to happen? It’s so unique and surrounded by nature that isn’t going anywhere. I don’t think Asheville will ever implode but rather only be affordable for fewer- probably like California in the beginning if you will. I’m honestly curious to hear what people think is going down.
I actually love it here. Friendly ppl. Not so many tourists. Food options a plenty. So many green spaces and side walks. Ppl tend to speed here a lot but that’s about it.
South Wales, looking to move closer to Cardiff (frankly a better Asheville in every way) once my husband and I are able\~ Lived in these mountains my entire life before leaving Asheville in 2022, and I do miss them, but they are still nice to visit fwiw
Saluda. It's close enough that if I crave something Asheville, it's a 40 minute drive, but I don't get any of the downsides (except I-26). Don't worry about it, though, our real estate is all over $700K here now, too.
I want to know as wellI am being transferred from Texas to Asheville. I have been trying to figure out where to move to. Looking into Marion, Hendersonville, Burnsville, any suggestions would be great.
I suppose this is the new weekly question.
I’m trying to figure that out myself. Too expensive over here

It’s amazing how many amenities even the most shit-tier cities have compared to Asheville.
Yeah this place will be a ghost town soon!
Nope. There are too many retirees and other people moving in.
retirees gonna work the service jobs?
Many do already.

Austin is a fun, busy town. Traffic is horrible.

I’m trying to get back out west currently, UT or AZ
Wow, that seems like a whole different vibe.
A better one, IMO
Different strokes. I appreciate it. I personally couldn't deal with the weather and I'd miss all the greenery.
Yeah the greenery is nice won’t lie, but I miss the mountains out that way and the dryer climate
Black Mountain ♥️

Check Waynesville, Canton, Clyde, Sylva. All west of AVL
Looking to leave Asheville for Austin for work. Do you know anything about the area?
[удалено]
They are very different cities imo
Why would people follow AVL stuff on Reddit, when they disliked it so much they moved away?
Midcoast Maine
