Asheville’s Historic Montford comprises over 600 mostly residential buildings built in the Victorian, Queen Anne, and Arts and Crafts styles combined with Neoclassical and Colonial Revival elements. Situated just a few miles from Downtown Asheville, Montford offers both an extension of the city’s year-round activity and a retreat into more private, residential life. This combination is a sought-after element of Asheville real estate.
The highly desirable Montford community is active and family-friendly. Residents can be seen at all hours of the day working in their lovingly tended gardens, walking their dogs, jogging, or even just catching up with their neighbors from their brightly-painted Victorian porches. (It’s not uncommon to spot a few goats and chickens during an evening stroll!) This lively, beautiful neighborhood is located in Western North Carolina just north of Downtown Asheville and within walking distance of area schools, local restaurants, Montford Park, and The Greenway, making these historic Montford homes prime NC real estate.
Long considered one of the most beloved neighborhoods in Asheville, this historic district will feel like home the minute you arrive.
