Serene and scenic views
Before 1923, the Lakeview Park area of Asheville was known as Baird Bottom, a meadow used by farmland as grazing grounds. After construction by engineering firm Charles E & Waddell Company, the terrain was transformed by architect John Nolen into the scenic neighborhood that it's known as today. Residents now enjoy views of the blue-ridge mountains and expansive Beaver Lake, the neighborhood's Centerpiece. Kelsey Crowder, a local Realtor of 8 years, says "The lake is the draw here. It's beautiful. There's nothing like this anywhere else in Asheville." Another component of the lake is Beaver Park, privately owned and maintained by residents, but open to visitors willing to abide by its rules. Residents and non-residents fish on the docks or venture into the water on paddleboards. Starting in the 1920s, home construction here persisted over the decades, resulting in various architectural styles. Prices range from $550,000 to $3 million. Aside from businesses within the neighborhood, 15 miles away is Biltmore Park Town Square, a bustling shopping center in downtown Asheville.
A desirable and walkable neighborhood
Lakeview Park's desirability is reflected in its pricing. "I tell my clients, if you're lucky enough to find something here, you're going to stay a while," says Realtor Elisa Miyares of the Redbud Group / Keller Williams. The neighborhood consists of winding roads, well-maintained lawns, and greenery. Houses can start at $550,000 and go up to as high as $3 million for homes by the lake or mountains. Tudor and Craftsman- style homes can be found around the valley, while Cape Cods and Colonial-Revival homes line the roads. While the streets here don't have sidewalks, the neighborhood is still very accessible— residents can expect to see their neighbors out and about. Nikki Freeman, a Realtor from the Redbud Group, puts it simply: "This is a very desirable and walkable neighborhood."
Stellar schools to choose from
Local children can start their education at Claxton Elementary, a K-5 offering clubs and a Student Lighthouse, an early version of the Student Council. Students can then continue to Asheville Middle School and Asheville High. Asheville High holds AP classes and extracurriculars, with a strong emphasis on school spirit for sports. Claxton Elementary and Asheville Middle School receive a B plus rating from Niche, and Asheville High School an A minus.
Parks open 24/7
The Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary is an 8-acre stretch of wetland acquired in 1988. Half of this park is owned and managed by Blue Ridge Audubon, a non-profit committed to conservation. Because of the acquisition made in 1988, the Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary is protected from any future commercial development. The other half is owned and managed by the Lakeview Park community. Open 365 days a year, the sanctuary includes a boardwalk that loops through the entire area, accessible to walkers, joggers and those needing extra mobility assistance. Other than scenery, visitors can observe a variety of wildlife. The park also offers outdoor gathering spaces for groups and bird outings on the first Saturday of every month.
Shopping & dining nearby and downtown
La Carreta, a regional chain serving authentic Mexican food, is located south of the neighborhood. Residents can head here to pick up takeout for the whole family or a fun date night. West of Lakeview Park are nearby plazas with several local restaurants, notably Greek and Italian eatery the Bellagio Bistro and family-owned buffet The Fireplace. Blue Ridge Market, a farmers market, is a go-to for fresh produce year round. About 15 miles out of Lakeview Park is Biltmore Park Town Square, a popular shopping plaza in downtown Asheville. Residents can walk around to enjoy the various businesses offered-such as the movie theater, cozy bookshops, restaurants and hotels.
State of the art library and country club
Next to Beaver Lake is The North Asheville Public Library, a close walk away, depending on where residents are situated. On weekends, the library hosts interactive story time for children and a book of the month club. North of Beaver Lake is the Country Club of Asheville-a private club known for its quality golf course designed by renowned golf course architect Donald Ross.
For easy commuting and road trips
Lakeview Park is next to Interstate 25 and 26. When residents are ready for a change of scenery from the lake, they can use Interstate 25 to connect to other highways to road trip to Charlotte NC, just over a 2-hour drive away.
