"We've lived here one year and now almost every family on the block, some of whom have become friends. It's safe for our toddler daughter and close to some of the best offerings in Sylva. We moved from Chicago, and while we miss our city, we'll absolutely be staying here as long as we can. "

"The area is absolutely extravigant with beautiful houses in the mountains without all the congestation of Wayensville and Asheville. With a beautiful scenery. Sylva still has a lot of its older buildings and a absolutely beautiful library !!!!"
