Life In Asheville
Asheville is a unique town nestled in the mountains of Western North Carolina. With a population of
just over 70,000, it has a small-town feel but boasts big-town attractions. With its arts and live
music scene, along with a plethora of outdoor activities including hiking, mountain biking, skiing,
and whitewater rafting, Asheville offers something for everyone. For those who like to eat out or
hang out, Asheville features many fantastic local restaurants and now 9 local microbreweries serving
up some of the best beer in the nation. During the summer months, enjoy the Asheville Tourists minor
league baseball team or one of several outdoor music festivals including Bele Chere , Brewgrass,
and "Downtown After Five." In short, there is plenty to do when you have time off as a resident.
At an average elevation of 2,340 feet above sea level, Asheville enjoys four distinct seasons.
The average spring temperature is 62 degrees, and early April is when temperatures generally stop
falling below freezing. Summers are cool, with average high temperature of 82 degrees and average
low of 61 degrees. Fall brings brilliant foliage and an average temperature of 48 degrees.
Winter’s average temperature is 42 degrees. Snowfall is heavy in the higher elevations, but the
past 20-year average in Asheville is 12 inches per year.
