  • Balsam Grove - northwest; on NC-215
  • Brevard - east central; at intersection of US-64, US-276 and NC-280
    Brevard with its nearly 7,000 people isn't really a 'small' town but they sure seem to want it to look that way. Tourism seems to be the primary industry here and, if tourists are attracted to good eating, they'll find plenty of it in Brevard. Then there is the Brevard Music Center, an internationally famous center of attraction in the summer. And there is real estate; yes, that, too, is an industry and Brevard is a very attractive - and popular - place to take up residence. NC-280, the freeway connecting Brevard to I-26 in Asheville, means Brevard is no longer the isolated town it used to be. Contact a local real estate agency (list at NCMLF.com) and see just how attractive Brevard can be.
  • Cedar Mountain - southeast; on US-276
  • Connestee Falls - just west of Brevard on US-64
    A planned, 4,000 acre resort and retirement community just west of Brevard on US-64, Connestee Falls has some 4,000 homes and still has more home sites for sale. This is the kind of place many people dream about with its 4 lakes, almost a dozen excellent hiking trails, tennis courts, golf course and driving range. Sure there's more, lots more. Give them a call. (See NCMLF.com)
  • Lake Toxaway - west; at intersection of US-64 and NC-281 (south shore of Lake Toxaway)
  • Penrose - east; at intersection of US-64 and NC-1528

  • Pisgah Forest - east; on NC-1504
    Start with a lumber company, then add a specialized paper mill next door, then a lot of homes for the workers and you have, once upon a time, Pisgah Forest and Ecusta. Two significant rivers flow through Pisgah Forest, the French Broad River and the Davidson River. Well, folks, the industries are long gone but the rivers are still here and so are the homes. Now a quiet residential suburb of Brevard, there are good homes to be had, here, for a lot less money than you might think.

  • Rosman - south central; on US-178

  • Sapphire - southwest; on US-64
    Rolling Water Lane, Running Fox Road, River Outlook Road, Rhododendron Run Road... do you wonder why folks come here, buy their little mountain estates, to enjoy their golden years in the tranquility of Sapphire Valley? I don't!
