Also here is UNC-Asheville, the Asheville Botanical Gardens, and the Rock Creek Greenway trail.

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.
