Asheville named among Best Places to Live for Singles by Money Magazine. ASHEVILLE - Despite a reputation for outrageously expensive housing and a dating scene some find dicey, Asheville has landed on a list of The Best Places to Live for Singles.

Are people in Asheville NC friendly?

People are very welcoming in Asheville. Maybe it has to do with all the breweries and the easy access to craft beer! But, regardless, we get a ton of tourists from all over the place and have a diverse local population, and everyone seems to feel quite at home here. (Its very pet-friendly, too!)
