East Asheville Homes for Rent

East Asheville, nestled between the Interstate 240/I-40 belt loop and the Blue Ridge Parkway, offers suburban living with mountain views and abundant nature. Located just 4 miles from Downtown Asheville, it provides an easy commute. The neighborhood is divided by the Swannanoa River, featuring commercial spaces to the south, green spaces throughout, and a central golf course. Homes here range from Craftsman to split-level styles, with many offering scenic views of the golf course. The area is characterized by mature Pine, Red Maple, and Sweetgum trees, with homes situated on lots of varying elevations along winding roads. Most single-family homes are brick ranch-styles and split-levels from the 1960s, alongside newer Craftsman homes, townhouses, and occasional log cabins.

East Asheville students attend highly rated schools, starting at Charles C. Bell Elementary, moving on to A.C. Reynolds Middle School, and finally A.C. Reynolds High School, known for its strong athletic programs. Residents enjoy proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway's hiking and biking trails, as well as Asheville Recreation Park, which offers soccer fields, fishing piers, and a pool. The park also houses the Western North Carolina Nature Center, featuring local wildlife exhibits including American Red Wolves, Black Bears, River Otters, and a new Red Panda Exhibit. The neighborhood's crime rate is lower than the national average, contributing to its appeal.
