Vibe & Style: Old Asheville elegance. Biltmore Forest isn’t just a neighborhood – it’s an incorporated town known for its prestigious, old-world atmosphere. Winding, leafy roads are lined with stately homes on large manicured lots. Architecture ranges from Tudor and Georgian Revival mansions to ranches and Châteauesque estates, as many homes date back to the 1920s-1960s heyday of this community. It’s one of the most affluent areas in North Carolina (with per capita income among the state’s highest), yet the vibe is peaceful and unpretentious – like a quiet garden suburb steeped in history.
Amenities & Lifestyle: Residents enjoy a country club lifestyle and easy access to nature. The Biltmore Forest Country Club (private, invitation-only) is a social hub, featuring a Donald Ross-designed golf course, tennis facilities, a pool, and a grand clubhouse. The Blue Ridge Parkway actually runs along the edge of Biltmore Forest, with a trail access for evening strolls or dog-walking. Nearby, the North Carolina Arboretum and Pisgah National Forest offer hiking and biking just a short drive away. Though it feels tucked away, this neighborhood lies just 10 minutes south of downtown Asheville and right next door to conveniences of South Asheville and Biltmore Village shopping and dining. Top-rated schools like Carolina Day (private) and T.C. Roberson High are in or near the district, making it popular for families as well as retirees.
Appeals To: Those seeking legacy and privacy – Biltmore Forest attracts executives, professionals, and second-home owners who want a prestigious address with space and tranquility. It’s perfect if you love historic charm, a wooded estate-like setting, and country club amenities, all while being close to city conveniences.
Insider Tip: Love golf or tennis? Biltmore Forest Country Club hosts some of Asheville’s most exclusive member events – joining can be a great way to meet your neighbors (membership is by invitation). If you’re a nature lover, don’t miss the small trailheads off Stuyvesant Rd that connect to the Mountains-to-Sea Trail for a quiet hike.
