Welcome to Straus Park, a beautiful upscale planned community within the city limits of downtown Brevard in Transylvania County.
This 300-acre mountain village lies just two miles from downtown Brevard. The lower part of the neighborhood is occupied by a mix of commercial businesses. On Market Street, you’ll find the local organic grocery store, and Park Place is home to several professional offices and other services.
Just across the street, residents have access to the Brevard Bike Path, a five-mile greenway leading to the entrance to Pisgah National Forest. A short connector along the way provides access to Oskar Blues Brewery.
Other outdoor opportunities in Transylvania County are just a short drive away, including Dupont State Forest, Gorges State Park, Nantahala National Forest, Headwaters State Forest, and a community garden. Built on the traditions of family and appreciation for natural beauty, Straus Park offers the best of both in-town and the natural beauty of mountainside lifestyles.
Residents of the Straus Park community enjoy a wide variety of amenities. 35 acres of green space and 15 acres of meadow parks maintain an open and pastoral setting in the lower elevations of the community. The six-acre lake offers opportunities for swimming, boating, and lakeside lounging, and three miles of hiking trails wind through the wooded slopes. The Lakehouse is the heart of the neighborhood, serving as a space for gatherings, musical events, and a rich calendar of social activities and programs.
Other classic amenities that Straus Park offers include tennis courts and a swimming pool. The abundance of engaging activities makes this lively and thriving neighborhood a destination for mountain living.
Residential opportunities cater to a variety of lifestyles. The Mountain Park Homes offer intimate cottage-style living, designed by world-renowned architects Bloodgood Sharp Buster. You’ll find options for condominium and townhome living in the Straus Ridge, Parkside, and Lakeside areas of the neighborhood.
