Walkable neighborhood, but you'll need a car to explore AVL
The neighborhood is very walkable with many amenities, and sits at the foot of downtown. You will want a car to explore the city and region further, including sites such as Biltmore, the Blue Ridge Parkway and Highlands Craft Guild center, area tubing and kayaking, and local breweries.
