Is Hendersonville NC Better Than Asheville NC? - Which City Would You Live In?

[@pandemonium274]

My wife and I moved to western North Carolina from out of state in October 2021. We were originally thinking about Asheville, however, we liked the relaxed vibe in Hendersonville. We ended buying a half an acre with a ranch style house in Hendersonville. We love it here. Strongly recommended. Asheville is really fun to visit which we do almost weekly. As for living there, for us, it was a bit too busy. My wife and I are seniors. Cheers!!!

[@livinginasheville]

Yes! That makes sense! So glad you enjoy it.

[@XHobbiesPrime]

I visited Hendersonville some years back. Lovely little area. I hope for the best for the people there.

[@livinginasheville]

As far as I know, Hendersonville fared quite well. Many other areas did not such as wanna Noah and chimney rock.

[@XHobbiesPrime]

@@livinginasheville I'm glad Hendersonville is okay. I'm sorry to hear about the other towns.

[@evelynclifford7359]

My mom lives in Hendo and loves the friendly community vibe and small town charm with easy access to airport and all of WNC.

[@livinginasheville]

Yes! It is a great place for community!

[@answer420]

I used to work security on the Asheville runway while it was under construction, did they ever finish? I think I was there for 6 years and it wasn't complete when I moved.

[@kgold5962]

I've never been to Hendersonville but I did visit Asheville once. I love the galleries and shops in Asheville, but it had a bit of a tired or rundown feel to it. I hope to visit there again to see if I get the same impression. I will have to check out Hendersonville one day.

[@livinginasheville]

Asheville is growing so much and older buildings are being revitalized…. It’s been on an upward trend for last 20 years so there has been a lot of change.

[@leighdougherty3106]

WOW!!! LOVE this video!!! I can't wait to check out the Hendersonville area after watching this!!! Pass me an apple or a biscuit with Apple Butter!!!! Yumm yumm!!!! 💜💜

[@livinginasheville]

Hi Leigh 💗💗 day trip down there! So happy for you!

[@tyrellfernando701]

My wife and I are from North East and planning to retire some where down shouth. Florida was in our mind but while talking to a friend of ours she recommened that we shold check out Hendersonville. We have never heard of this town before. The video was absolutely a game changer. We will certainly exhaust our energy to find a desirable community in Hendersonville to spend our layback Golden Years. Perhaps pay a visit soon to get the feel before we commit.

[@livinginasheville]

Yay! So glad you found d it useful. Send us an email- we’d be happy to hear about your preferences and help you narrow it down. It’s what we love to do best! [e-mail]

[@calibby85]

Florida?! Not a place to live anymore, just visit. The climate situation is terrible and only getting worse..

[@wallywanker7435]

@@calibby85climate ? Lmfao climate ? Just stop with that . Been here 16 years nothing has changed with the climate. It’s hot ! always has been it’s really hot in the summer and less hot in the winter that’s it. People like to fear monger. 2 hurricanes the whole time and only 1 affected me bad but not the rest of the state. My family in New York had more storms ,Otherwise it is what it is tropical in south Florida. The problem is the cost of homes and insurance skyrocketed. I bought a house in west Carolina waynesville / Maggie valley and will retire to the mountains. Perfect weather mild winters beautiful fall and spring and summers. Just looking to relax , Florida is great but I am ready to leave the heat and get back to haveing 4 seasons.

[@redbullbundy]

All of Henderson county is fantastic. This entire area is beautiful amazing. I would definitely come visit and check it out.

[@lukewarmnomore7523]

Do you have any vids on Arden?

[@livinginasheville]

We have skimmed over the area a bit in map tours of the south and the different areas around Asheville but can certainly put some effort into Arden! 👊😊

[@q95oldies57]

Lived in Hendersonville for 15 years, worked in Asheville for that long. Hendersonville is much less liberal, and everything that goes with it.

[@livinginasheville]

Very true!

[@stacystevens8000]

We moved to Hendersonville, (outside of city limits), a year ago. We love the hiking, canoeing, camping, music, breweries and more. Asheville is very busy and traffic heading there is pretty busy, especially Friday’s.

[@livinginasheville]

Yes, it is also the interstate, 26, it’s been under construction for a long time, huh?

[@stacystevens8000]

Thank God we do not have to deal with it very often.

[@sharonmartin1230]

Hendersonville is by far the best. You definitely get that home town feel and Asheville feels more like a small city

[@livinginasheville]

Many say this same thing! I can totally see why.

[@leejohnson7293]

I go to Hendersonville every summer. Love it! And yes, in my opinion it is better than Asheville. I will be there in August, and can't wait! Bold Rock is near by, and they have fun events/ live music during the summer.

[@livinginasheville]

Yes! Bold rock is great!

[@yeseniapastor7165]

I think work if there is any and what they pay would be a question most people would have. I would love to relocate but no where near retirement

[@livinginasheville]

In Hendersonville? Yes! There is quite a bit to offer for work. What industry?

[@lbelsick2689]

Hendersonville is much nicer. Asheville is too liberal with a lot of crime now. So sad we love Biltmore but we skip Asheville proper now.

[@livinginasheville]

Oh really, I have rejuvenated my love for downtown lately… the vibe is on point these days.

[@osmontakja8341]

Yes I agree where liberal are crime is there, liberals and crime going hand to hand together I used to love Asheville 10 years ago or more now it is s*** hole plus too expensive

[@mikeconnor4736]

Agree. Bought a lovely home in Northern Hendo a year ago, would never give leftist Asheville a nickel of tax money.

[@MattBuck777]

Hendersonville is such a rad spot. One of these days I just might move down from Pittsburgh.

[@livinginasheville]

Watch out, Hendo! Matt’s on his way!

[@MrJestyler]

Hendersonville would be choice over Asheville anyday for a variety of reasons. It’s just big enough, not terribly far from smokies, cost of living is certainly less than Asheville. Always liked it there. Just a lot of pluses about place. 👍👍👍

[@livinginasheville]

So many! Glad you found that!

[@OTR392]

niiiiiiiiice tips!

[@livinginasheville]

Haha! Thank you. KZbin asked me if I want to translate this to English. 😂

[@WildBreath.ShannonBryson]

I am very interested in Hendersonville. My concern is that I am single and moving alone, so I wonder how easy it is to meet friends and to be part of a community. I love the "town" vibe, as opposed to a city, however sometimes a town is harder to be a new comer. I was looking at Asheville (too much of a city) and Weaverville. But Hendersonville looks darling! ( I am 54, empty nester, very active, yoga instructor and avid hiker) I am looking for somewhere to spend the second half of my life. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

[@livinginasheville]

Hendersonville sounds like a great place for you and there are lots of people that are moving to the area who are also looking for friends. There are tons of meet up groups, especially for hiking, so I don’t imagine you would have many problems finding your people. There’s also tons of yoga studios too. Most people are really friendly there and easy to get to know.

[@shannonbryson634]

I got it confused with "Henderson"

[@livinginasheville]

Oh yeah…. That makes sense.

[@AllenSymonds]

@@livinginasheville Yes, there is a Henderson,TX as well as a Franklin,TX. I realized Henderson, NC was wrong the second I looked at the demographics. I have talked with many people in Franklin,NC and they all say they don't even like to drive through Asheville. I have some connection to Franklin,NC as I have ancestors buried there. I also had a girlfriend from there as well. However, it is a little too small and far away from larger conservative cities. I sometimes work in Scottsboro,AL, Athens,GA, and Charlotte. Currently, I reside in the Anderson Mill suburb of Austin. We are extremely alt-right. Do you think Hendersonville,NC would be a good fit for me?

Yes, this seems to be the consensus for a lot of people is they love the small town field of Hendersonville and they also enjoy being so close to Asheville that they can pop in and pop out at their leisure.

[@johnharper2016]

Moved to Laurel Park (right next to Hendersonville) in 2014 from Naples, Florida. Looked around the whole area at the time. Asheville, Arden, Fletcher, Canton, Waynesville, etc. Hendersonville won hands down. So very happy we avoided Asheville based on all the terrible things happening there past 5 years or so. Liberalism has ruined what was once a pretty decent town. We do have annual passes to Biltmore. We avoid Asheville when we go to Biltmore.
