Bat Cave
- northeast; near junction of US-64 and US-74-A
Bat cave
is just south of the junction of US-64 and US-74A. Though
the rest of the area is in Rutherford County, Bat Cave is
barely in Henderson County. And it isn't even a wide spot in
the road! But the residents don't mind; the best part of Bat
Cave is well hidden. You want mountain land? Here it is. The
Broad river rages southward along the highway helping the
create that special atmosphere that marks Bat Cave. The mobs
of tourists are on their way to Chimney Rock (next door).
The smarter ones realize that what they are passing is the
tranquility they really drove out here to find. Dave Caulder
would be happy to tell you more:

Etowah
- west; on US-64
Etowah is
a very nice, residential community astraddle US-64 just west
of Hendersonville. The large-scale residential developers
would really like to take over the area but their intrusion
has been fought with a vengeance and with considerable
success. Here you'll find nice homes with large, well
landscaped lots and with residents very proud of their
community. You, too, could become one of them. See list of
area real estate agencies at

Flat Rock
- southeast central; on NC-225
Certainly there is a large, flat rock somewhere around here
after which the 'Village of Flat Rock' was named. I could
find neither the rock nor anyone who knew anything about it.
Some one said it was the top of the hill behind Connemara,
the National Historic Site and home place of Carl Sandburg
just across from the ancient looking Flat Rock Playhouse.
Drive in any direction, though, and what you will find are
beautiful but, unobtrusive homes occupied by quiet, content
families. And that, folks, is Flat Rock. Any one of the real
estate agencies in Hendersonville can give you a proper
introduction; you can view a list of agencies at

Fletcher
- north; on US-25
Fletcher is in the midst of the throes of renewal. The
widening of US-25 — which runs right through the middle of
downtown — from 2 to 5 lanes required drastic changes. Now
new parks, new greenways, new everything, is the order of
the day. Fletcher, like Arden next door, is airport
territory and that brings businesses — lots of them. Airport
Road is constantly changing its face through the addition of
new mercantile centers — even a new Target center. Real
estate properties are increasing in value, rapidly, so the
time to invest is now...quickly! We suggest you contact one
of Fletcher's real estate agencies; see list at
NCMLF.com.

Hendersonville
- central; at intersection of US-25, US-64 and US-176
While Fletcher has adopted modernization (with the exception
of a few, isolated, historic areas), Hendersonville appears
firmly committed to preserve its historic features even to
the point of a very expensive restoration of its courthouse.
(Yes, it built a new one but the old one with its gold dome
is the psychological town center. Street dancing is a
summers right and is enjoyed even by non-residents. Street
fairs, especially the annual Apple Festival, have become
nationally famous. And real estate has become the prime
target of the hundreds of 'immigrants' from the frozen
North. True, many are retirees but they could afford to live
anywhere; they come to Henderson County and Hendersonville.

Holly Springs -
west; on NC-280
- Horse Shoe - west
central; on US-64
Horse
Shoe is a community in search of an identity. They thought
they had one but then Mills River up and incorporated (which
isn't without great challenges in North Carolina). More
about that under Mills River.
Horse Shoe is more-or-less on US-64. Mills River is on
NC-280 which is the semi-freeway connecting I-26 and the
Asheville Regional Airport to Brevard. This has allowed
Horse Shoe, which is next door to Etowah, to remain a
relaxed, quiet area where folks love to build and buy homes
in which they can settle down without worrying what is going
to be built next door. Any one of the real estate agencies
in Hendersonville can give you a proper introduction; you

Laurel Park - central; borders
Hendersonville on west
- Mills River -
northwest central; at intersection of NC-191 and NC-280
Brevard,
way out in Transylvania County, didn't want to be connected
to anybody. So the NC State Department of Transportation
built a freeway connecting them to the Asheville Regional
Airport and Interstate 26. Us-65, the other connector to
Brevard, is a terrible — and frequently dangerous — road so
folks usually use NC-280. This is Mills River territory and
what do great highways do? They bring in businesses and
Mills River felt in danger of being annexed by Asheville
(which is very hungry for taxes) or Fletcher. Solution, they
harnessed some politicians and got permission to
incorporate. They even got their own ZIP code;
unfortunately, the USPS hasn't learned it yet so much of
their mail disappears.
The Mills River corridor is growing and property values
are shooting sky high. If you're in the mood for
investments, better call a real estate agent NOW! To contact
one of the many agencies in the area view the list at

Mountain Home
- north central; on US-25
As you drive south from I-26 exit 44 on US-25 ('Asheville
Highway') you'll pass a large cornfield on your left, then
trees and a large, fairly new brick firehouse. To most
folks, that is Mountain Home. Oh, a few folks notice the
Post Office (on the right just before the firehouse). More
notice the industrial park just south of the firehouse. But
the real Mountain Home is a sprawling residential area to
the right (west) of US-25. This is a very quiet, mixed
community with homes ranging from older mobile homes to
3,000+ sqft homes. Mountain Road (at the traffic light just
south of the fire house) is one of the very few thoroughfares
connecting US-25 with NC-191, one of only three north-south
corridors in Henderson County.

Naples
- north; on US-25
Naples is next door to Fletcher. Fletcher is in an expanding
mood and has learned from Asheville's example that
annexations bring in more tax revenue but don't cost that
much to meet the legal requirements. So residents in Naples
are worried (except those with land to sell) and Fletcher
tries to calm them by by stating Fletcher has no current
plans to annex Naples.
So just what is Naples? Its an Interstate exit quickly
growing more new businesses and it is a large, full-service
hospital. Most of the rest is (or was) farm land ripe for
commercial investments. To contact one of the many real
estate agencies in the area view list at
