"One of the uncommon qualities of Asheville has been and continues to be the richness of community resulting from the eclectic collection of people who have migrated to the area. Asheville’s culture has evolved from a unique blend of Native American, Scottish, Appalachian, African-American, and cosmopolitan influences. Here people of different cultures live together; the area is home to people of alternative lifestyles, as well as to retirees from all over the world.
This cosmopolitan flavor is celebrated in diverse restaurants and cafes, entertainment venues, and festivals. Thriving in Asheville is a community of artists and craftsmen, many of whom work in downtown studios and lofts. This diversity makes Asheville a delightful place to visit and a great place to live."
