West Asheville Attractions, Restaurants, and Things to do

The area’s housing is a wonderful blend of modern green-built homes sitting beside historic 1920s bungalows. These neighborhoods are often tucked within walking distance to popular restaurants such as Taco Billy, Sunny Point Cafe, Biscuit Head, and Gan Shan West. Just across the French Broad River, West Asheville’s Haywood Road corridor neighbors the popular River Arts District, which is home to hundreds of working artist studios and art galleries that are housed in what were previously textile mills, tannery facilities, and meatpacking warehouses in the early 1900s. The buildings are now adorned with vibrant murals and expressive street art., and the River Arts District is lined by a 2-mile greenway that is frequented by walkers, runners, bikers, and the occasional roller blader.
