Spindale's small-town vibe in the heart of Rutherford County
Spindale may be in the middle of two larger communities, but it's anything but middle of the road. The charming community features a scenic, historic Main Street that offers dining, retail and entertainment. Residents also benefit from renovated homes, access to trails and parks and proximity to larger towns and cities. "It's nice because your husband or wife may work in Asheville or Charlotte, but you can live in this quiet, rural community without worrying about the commute," says Realtor Sonja Smith with Odean, Keever and Associates. This family-friendly community also features well-rated schools, making it popular with families looking for a quiet place to call home.
Avery Creek residents are within 10 minutes from Asheville Regional Airport.
Hendersonville features many great walking and biking paths in the area.

Classic midcentury homes and a 55-plus community
In Spindale, collections of modest homes surround the heart of the community. Most residences across the community are older, smaller cottages, Craftsman and ranch-style homes, priced between $200,000 and $350,000. The houses sit on tidy green yards surrounded by oak, magnolia, and evergreen trees, with large swaths overrun by kudzu. As homes move farther away from the main street, farms and other roomy residences are among the rolling foothills. Land is available for custom-built homes, priced from $30,000 for one acre to $135,000 for 15 acres. Spindale has recently developed the Sparks Crossing development, a newly established 55-plus community. The new construction on the area's western edge features ranch-style homes priced between $375,000 and $450,000. Sparks Crossing does have HOA fees to maintain the subdivision, typically around $120 per month.

Commuting from Spindale
Highways 74 and 221 are the closest major thoroughfare to surrounding communities. Interstates 26, 40 and 85 are all around 40 miles from Spindale. Due to Hurricane Helene's devastating effects, some roads and highways heading west may still be recovering, so residents should exercise caution and keep track of closures. The community is very car-dependent, but one of its benefits is that it's around an hour's drive from major cities like Asheville, Charlotte and Greenville. Rutherford Regional Medical Center is 3 miles away. Asheville Regional Airport is 45 miles from Spindale, but Charlotte Douglas International Airport is about 65 miles from the area for more direct flights.
