Why Live in Candler, NC

Unincorporated town, Candler NC sits in the Hominy Valley to the western edge of lively West Asheville and is largely seen as an extension of its trendy neighbor. Similar to the more rural Leicester, located northwest of Asheville, Candler has a quieter countryside vibe. With a population of over 25,000, Candler sits at an elevation of 2,122 feet between downtown Asheville and Canton. Popular attractions like Pisgah View Memorial Park and the sprawling Buncombe County Sports Park are easily accessible for outdoor excursions and community sports.
