The Town of Biltmore Forest. One of Asheville's flagships communities. This lovely town is adjacent to George Vanderbilt's "home" known as the Biltmore Estate. This community was originally built for folks in the 1920s who didn't have quite as much income as the Vanderbilts. There are no gates or guard houses like many of Ashevilles other luxury home areas. This town was incorporated in 1923 and it is an historic district. Population 1,500 and the 359th largest community in NC. Many amenities found in this neighborhood. Beautiful turn of 20th century homes interspersed with modern homes. Residences range from vintage 1920s homes to grand residences with new construction. While eclectic this town boasts a sense of grandeur and elegance with tree lined sidewalks. Very much a community feel. Being fairly central in location, it is close to shopping, downtown Asheville and many area schools.
