| We are moving there. Anyone lived there before? |

| I've never been, so this isn't really a helpful response, but my DH absolutely LOVES it there. He would move there in a heartbeat if there were jobs for us. And I've heard great things from others as well. |

| lovely mountain setting. Fairly "artsy" for a town of its size. |

| It's my sister's dream city--she hopes to move there with her family within a few years. |

I live in Greenville, SC which is just across the NC/SC border and I visited and did some work in Asheville numerous times.
Asheville itself is a beautiful city. It is a very liberal (not saying this is good or bad) minded city with a vibrant art and music scene. There is a lot of good food and things to do. We would go to the Biltmore at least once a year for concerts and or/a tour. Be prepared for some snow and wintery weather. Good luck. |

One of my best friends from DC moved there and LOVES it. Within no time, she had lots of wonderful friends and a great community. Good luck. From what she says, it sounds fantastic. |

It has one the fanciest McDonalds in the world. The foods still the same but the floors are marble, there is a player baby grand piano, really nice bathrooms and a fireplace in the center. 
It's a beautiful area and there is lots to do. I haven't spent much time there but it's in the middle of a rock hound's dream. |

OP here-
Thanks we are absolutely thrilled. Just seeing if anyone lived there or lives there. Can't wait! Do you think there is more of a winter there than DC? |

I went there for a wedding a couple of years ago and fell in love with the town. A really nice toy store and antique shops downtown, too.
Good luck! Do you feel as if you're escaping the rat race? |

| There is definitely more of a winter in Asheville. Being in the mountains (on average) you will get a lot more snow than here in DC. Summers will be nice. |

I made the 22:24 post. Just looked up average snowfall and I was wrong. Appears that DC and Asheville are about the same.
