    "I take my adventure cat hiking and on walks. I don’t have a dog. I see a few dogs wandering around. One which is intact. But I also see people walking their dogs at 7am and 3am or even 11pm. "

    "No sidewalks, and severe lack of public transportation. Cheaper taxes though, but the “town” could use more “rules” as far as how houses and yards are kept up. "

    "Lots of great hiking trails, parks and woods a minutes drive away. 10 minutes from Asheville, Black Mountain and Blue Ridge Parkway. Schools: Artspace Charter, Asheville Christian Academy, Warren Wilson College. Close enough to the city for convenience of nearby entertainment and restaurants, yet far enough away to experience nature in the woods or down at the farm. "
