The community is served by highly rated Buncombe County Schools, including Charles T. Koontz Intermediate, Valley Springs Middle, T.C. Roberson High and Veritas Christian Academy. Residents can enjoy local dining options like Mary's Burritos and Beer and Corner Grill, with additional shopping and dining at nearby Biltmore Park Town Square and Southridge Shopping Center.
