A serene setting minutes from the Asheville action
Flowing for thousands of years through the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, Beaverdam Creek carved what would become the Beaverdam valley. “The Beaverdam valley was actually one of the first inhabited areas in the Asheville area,” says Byron Greiner, principal broker at Dwell Realty Group. Today, the Beaverdam neighborhood is situated on its namesake stream, offering a private, serene community among the mountains, a short drive from all downtown Asheville has to offer.
