Southside Homes for Sale

Southside is a suburban neighborhood that is experiencing some revitalization about 2 miles away from Downtown Asheville. Historically, it was a mostly black community that saw significant changes during the city’s urban renewal project in the 1960s. Since then, many of the older properties have been renovated, with the neighborhood highlighting a mix of 1920s bungalows, ranch-style and Craftsman homes. U.S. Route 25 runs directly east of the neighborhood, and there are many Asheville Rides Transit bus stops along the highway. Mission Hospital is open 24 hours a day, and Asheville Regional Airport is 15 miles south. Marquee is the oldest marketplace in Asheville that’s widely known for its contemporary art and vintage decor. There are newly paved walking trails and barbecue stations at Walton Street Park, and the Dr. Wesley Grant Sr. Southside Community Center has a swimming pool and a basketball court. The area is served by highly rated schools, including Isaac Dickson Elementary, Asheville Middle School and Asheville High School. The Southside Community Farm hosts a farmers’ market every Sunday at the Reid Memorial Recreation Center, and local organizations bring the community together for block parties and cookouts.
