Anyone live in Asheville? On my list for possible retirement. Drawbacks: does it have enough music, theatre, draw national acts, etc?; not that close to major airport (Charlotte two hours) and wish there were lakes for boating.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I would suggest Indianapolis or Columbus, OH. Both are nice cities to raise families, great schools, low taxes, and have super low cost of living. Winters are easy— not too much snow. Columbus is cool because it’s similar to DC in that you have a lot of transplants. (i personally think Pittsburgh is better, but I’m trying not to be a homer ? ).

Sorry about that. I apologize for all Bills fans in WV. And there are many. Alas, there are many more Cowboy fans, most of whom have a collective IQ of 30. 1

My brother lives in Asheville, have friends in Cary NC (Cary = containment area for relocated yankees according to the locals.) Asheville consistently 8-10 degrees cooler in the summer which makes it livable to go outside. Parking in the city sucks. Micro-brew heaven if you like that. Plenty of local culture if not national. Heard something on the radio probably 15 years ago about the cities with the happiest women in the US. Asheville was one of the three mentioned.

The weather, breweries, dining, outdoors, cost are all very attractive. I live near two major cities so the amenities might be hard to give up.
