Haw Creek Asheville Real Estate & Homes for Sale
About
Haw Creek
Located just ten minutes from downtown Asheville, the lovely East Asheville neighborhood of Haw Creek inherited its name from the native Black Hawthorne trees that grew along the creek—a waterway that eventually turns west to meet up with the Swannanoa River. Haw Creek Valley is enclosed by Piney Mountain and Bear Mountain to the west, Town Mountain and Peach Knob to the north, and Bull Mountain to the east.
The community is cradled within the scenic Haw Creek valley and characterized by verdant landscapes and majestic mountain views that create a sense of calm and connection to nature. Boasting tree-lined streets and a friendly atmosphere, Haw Creek beautifully knits bucolic allure with the comfort of suburban living to create a desirable place to call home in East Asheville. Riceville and the Riceville valley neighbors Haw Creek to the east.
