My wife and I moved to western North Carolina from out of state in October 2021. We were originally thinking about Asheville, however, we liked the relaxed vibe in Hendersonville. We ended buying a half an acre with a ranch style house in Hendersonville. We love it here. Strongly recommended. Asheville is really fun to visit which we do almost weekly. As for living there, for us, it was a bit too busy. My wife and I are seniors. Cheers!!!
I used to work security on the Asheville runway while it was under construction, did they ever finish? I think I was there for 6 years and it wasn't complete when I moved.
My wife and I are from North East and planning to retire some where down shouth. Florida was in our mind but while talking to a friend of ours she recommened that we shold check out Hendersonville. We have never heard of this town before. The video was absolutely a game changer. We will certainly exhaust our energy to find a desirable community in Hendersonville to spend our layback Golden Years. Perhaps pay a visit soon to get the feel before we commit.
Yay! So glad you found d it useful. Send us an email- we’d be happy to hear about your preferences and help you narrow it down. It’s what we love to do best! Beth@livinginasheville.com
@@calibby85climate ? Lmfao climate ? Just stop with that . Been here 16 years nothing has changed with the climate. It’s hot ! always has been it’s really hot in the summer and less hot in the winter that’s it. People like to fear monger. 2 hurricanes the whole time and only 1 affected me bad but not the rest of the state. My family in New York had more storms ,Otherwise it is what it is tropical in south Florida. The problem is the cost of homes and insurance skyrocketed. I bought a house in west Carolina waynesville / Maggie valley and will retire to the mountains. Perfect weather mild winters beautiful fall and spring and summers. Just looking to relax , Florida is great but I am ready to leave the heat and get back to haveing 4 seasons.
I go to Hendersonville every summer. Love it! And yes, in my opinion it is better than Asheville. I will be there in August, and can't wait! Bold Rock is near by, and they have fun events/ live music during the summer.
We moved to Hendersonville, (outside of city limits), a year ago. We love the hiking, canoeing, camping, music, breweries and more. Asheville is very busy and traffic heading there is pretty busy, especially Friday’s.
I've never been to Hendersonville but I did visit Asheville once. I love the galleries and shops in Asheville, but it had a bit of a tired or rundown feel to it. I hope to visit there again to see if I get the same impression. I will have to check out Hendersonville one day.
Asheville is growing so much and older buildings are being revitalized…. It’s been on an upward trend for last 20 years so there has been a lot of change.
WOW!!! LOVE this video!!! I can't wait to check out the Hendersonville area after watching this!!! Pass me an apple or a biscuit with Apple Butter!!!! Yumm yumm!!!! 💜💜
Hendersonville would be choice over Asheville anyday for a variety of reasons. It’s just big enough, not terribly far from smokies, cost of living is certainly less than Asheville. Always liked it there. Just a lot of pluses about place. 👍👍👍
We have skimmed over the area a bit in map tours of the south and the different areas around Asheville but can certainly put some effort into Arden! 👊😊
i go to school here! hendersonville is awesome. i definitely recommend going to mcfarland bake shop. i go to hendersonville middle school, which used to be a black community school. My father lives in travelers rest south carolina, and it’s only 30 minutes away. i actually live in flat rock, and my ride to school is only 15 minutes
I am very interested in Hendersonville. My concern is that I am single and moving alone, so I wonder how easy it is to meet friends and to be part of a community. I love the "town" vibe, as opposed to a city, however sometimes a town is harder to be a new comer. I was looking at Asheville (too much of a city) and Weaverville. But Hendersonville looks darling! ( I am 54, empty nester, very active, yoga instructor and avid hiker) I am looking for somewhere to spend the second half of my life. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.
Hendersonville sounds like a great place for you and there are lots of people that are moving to the area who are also looking for friends. There are tons of meet up groups, especially for hiking, so I don’t imagine you would have many problems finding your people. There’s also tons of yoga studios too. Most people are really friendly there and easy to get to know.
Yes, this seems to be the consensus for a lot of people is they love the small town field of Hendersonville and they also enjoy being so close to Asheville that they can pop in and pop out at their leisure.
Yes I agree where liberal are crime is there, liberals and crime going hand to hand together I used to love Asheville 10 years ago or more now it is s*** hole plus too expensive
@@livinginasheville Yes, there is a Henderson,TX as well as a Franklin,TX. I realized Henderson, NC was wrong the second I looked at the demographics. I have talked with many people in Franklin,NC and they all say they don't even like to drive through Asheville. I have some connection to Franklin,NC as I have ancestors buried there. I also had a girlfriend from there as well. However, it is a little too small and far away from larger conservative cities. I sometimes work in Scottsboro,AL, Athens,GA, and Charlotte. Currently, I reside in the Anderson Mill suburb of Austin. We are extremely alt-right. Do you think Hendersonville,NC would be a good fit for me?
Hendo is the better community for normal American type folk, where I chose to buy, love it here! If you've purple hair with face piercings and neck tattoos, Asheville is for you!
Shhhhhhhhhh. Don’t tell everyone about Hendersonville. I love living down here. I don’t go to Asheville a lot. The prices even in Henderson county have gotten wild. My home tax value went up over 100k last year. Still best area in WNC.
I don’t even have to watch this video to tell you Hendersonville is not better than Asheville. It’s cute. I drove through downtown Hendersonville and there’s just a lot less to do. Unless you like being pulled over by bored police or attending one of many Christian Academies.
I remember that news coverage but we’ve been trending down since then. www.citizen-times.com/story/news/local/2023/10/12/buncombe-county-crime-rate-decreased-asheville-violent-crime-increase/71044244007/
Moved to Laurel Park (right next to Hendersonville) in 2014 from Naples, Florida. Looked around the whole area at the time. Asheville, Arden, Fletcher, Canton, Waynesville, etc. Hendersonville won hands down. So very happy we avoided Asheville based on all the terrible things happening there past 5 years or so. Liberalism has ruined what was once a pretty decent town. We do have annual passes to Biltmore. We avoid Asheville when we go to Biltmore.

Yes! That makes sense! So glad you enjoy it.
I visited Hendersonville some years back. Lovely little area. I hope for the best for the people there.
As far as I know, Hendersonville fared quite well. Many other areas did not such as wanna Noah and chimney rock.
@@livinginasheville I'm glad Hendersonville is okay. I'm sorry to hear about the other towns.
My mom lives in Hendo and loves the friendly community vibe and small town charm with easy access to airport and all of WNC.
Yes! It is a great place for community!

Florida?! Not a place to live anymore, just visit. The climate situation is terrible and only getting worse..

All of Henderson county is fantastic. This entire area is beautiful amazing. I would definitely come visit and check it out.

Yes, it is also the interstate, 26, it’s been under construction for a long time, huh?
Thank God we do not have to deal with it very often.
Hendersonville is by far the best. You definitely get that home town feel and Asheville feels more like a small city
Many say this same thing! I can totally see why.

Hi Leigh 💗💗 day trip down there! So happy for you!
Lived in Hendersonville for 15 years, worked in Asheville for that long. Hendersonville is much less liberal, and everything that goes with it.
Very true!
Hendersonville would be choice over Asheville anyday for a variety of reasons. It’s just big enough, not terribly far from smokies, cost of living is certainly less than Asheville. Always liked it there. Just a lot of pluses about place. 👍👍👍
So many! Glad you found that!
If you're into hiking, mountain biking, nature, climbing, rafting, swimming or are just a super cool human being....this is the community for you.
I dig and agree. 👍
Do you have any vids on Arden?
We have skimmed over the area a bit in map tours of the south and the different areas around Asheville but can certainly put some effort into Arden! 👊😊
I think work if there is any and what they pay would be a question most people would have. I would love to relocate but no where near retirement
In Hendersonville? Yes! There is quite a bit to offer for work. What industry?
Would you recommend the city for a bartending couple looking to start a family in a conservative, hospitable community?
Hendersonville sounds good!
i go to school here! hendersonville is awesome. i definitely recommend going to mcfarland bake shop. i go to hendersonville middle school, which used to be a black community school. My father lives in travelers rest south carolina, and it’s only 30 minutes away. i actually live in flat rock, and my ride to school is only 15 minutes
Oh! I want to check out that bake shop! Yes, Flat rock is almost the same place, isn’t it?
@@livinginasheville Almost!

@@livinginashevilleThank you!
I think you would love it. Saluda, Tryon and Landrum are great too. I used to live there. I was a single female and enjoyed it.
I lived in Hendo for about 7 years, love the location, much better than Asheville but close enough to get into the city with ease.
Yes, this seems to be the consensus for a lot of people is they love the small town field of Hendersonville and they also enjoy being so close to Asheville that they can pop in and pop out at their leisure.
niiiiiiiiice tips!
Haha! Thank you. RUclips asked me if I want to translate this to English. 😂
Your videos are great. Looking for 5 plus acres in the Henderson or surrounding areas
Thank you! Sounds good, we’d love to help you. Please send us an email and we will set up a time to chat.

LOVE HENDERSONVILLE!! My parents had a summer place up Chimney Rock Road for about 30 years....hoping one day to maybe Retire there
Chimney rock is so beautiful!
Kind of off topic, love Evelynn's dress, she and the dress look so pretty! Evelynn's listing is great, I thought it would be $850k.
She rocks those dresses…. 👗 I’ll tell her. Thank you 😊
@@livinginasheville Thanks for your reply!
And she really fills out the top of the dress.
@@kathrynlee6195 She's a pretty lad & complements the dress. More importantly, she has a caring attitude which I'm sure her clients love.
Hendersonville is much nicer. Asheville is too liberal with a lot of crime now. So sad we love Biltmore but we skip Asheville proper now.
Oh really, I have rejuvenated my love for downtown lately… the vibe is on point these days.
Yes I agree where liberal are crime is there, liberals and crime going hand to hand together I used to love Asheville 10 years ago or more now it is s*** hole plus too expensive
Agree. Bought a lovely home in Northern Hendo a year ago, would never give leftist Asheville a nickel of tax money.
We’re visiting Ashville for the first time this week. Which neighborhoods should we check out? Thanks
Reach out to us via email and we’ll get you a list! Beth@LivinginAsheville.com
Can you please do videos for houses that are 300,000😭😭😭😭😭😭 in nearby moutaintowns
They are few and far between but I sure will try!
Can u show land 4 sale in Hendersonville
Sure! Reach out!
I got it confused with "Henderson"
Oh yeah…. That makes sense.

I saw this and immediately thought of White Duck Tacos! Lol
I love their Korean taco!
@@livinginasheville ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Arden, anytime soon?
Sure! Taking requests! Anything else?
@@livinginasheville 😀Just curious.
Hendersonville is Asheville’s prettier little sister.
Haha! Good point! Do you live there?
We have a summer home in Hendersonville. Florida for the winters. We first looked at Asheville but Hendersonville won us over in many areas.
Hendo is the better community for normal American type folk, where I chose to buy, love it here! If you've purple hair with face piercings and neck tattoos, Asheville is for you!
$469K-$489K when NOT overpriced during this Crazy Times.
I think this is the new normal.
Hendo is the place to be.
Hennnnnndooooo! True that.
GLAIVE, a popular artist popular in gen z is also from there !
Ah, cool! 😎
Shhhhhhhhhh. Don’t tell everyone about Hendersonville. I love living down here. I don’t go to Asheville a lot. The prices even in Henderson county have gotten wild. My home tax value went up over 100k last year. Still best area in WNC.
I know it is a treasure! Wow! That’s a big increase.
Ok, I am impressed with the mic! Couldn't even hear the garbage truck. What is it?
Hey! Is the DJI mic. Thank you! It is a good one- even when we’re surrounded with a lot of chaos around us it always picks up our voice
Asheville
Heard! 😊
Only Asheville!
We won?
799k. feels like 2090 prices, not 2024 prices. Beautiful home, but no middle class person can afford that.
Fair enough!
I don’t even have to watch this video to tell you Hendersonville is not better than Asheville. It’s cute. I drove through downtown Hendersonville and there’s just a lot less to do. Unless you like being pulled over by bored police or attending one of many Christian Academies.
Got it! Do you live in Asheville?
Super high crime rate ??

You listed two of the four high schools. 😂
Yeah Hendersonville, West Henderson AND East Henderson AND North Henderson.
Don’t
Move
Here.
Good catch Luke!
No.
Got it 😊

Far right evangelical Community.
Really? Maybe parts of it?
That's a great plus for whole community! Thanks for that info!
OMG. We just bought a place in Henderson and the last thing we’re looking for are conservatives.
You’ll be fine. Everything is changing so fast. No worries.
Im sure the locals dont want you there either. What an ignorant thing to say.
Sounds like you should have done more research. Have you been unaware of how North Carolina has been voting?
So you prefer Nazi mass murdering sociopaths?
@@mattjtx93👏🏽🏅
What an ignorant a$$ they are and apparently too dumb to look into the area first.
