This north Asheville neighborhood is anchored by a one-of-a-kind hotel and is brimming with homegrown restaurants, arts attractions and beautiful views. Grove Park's meandering streets resemble estuaries, feeding into each other in continuous routes that wrap around the local resort. Twisted laurel, dense dogwood and rose-hued azaleas hedge this charming neighborhood's winding storybook drives. Gardens of evergreens cascade over landscaped yards and cloak the floor of its verdant woods. Some homes cling to Sunset Mountain's uneven terrain, while others overlook neat, grassy estates.
