Why Live in River Arts District

The River Arts District, or "RAD," is Asheville's artistic heart, just south of downtown. Once an industrial area with old mills lining the French Broad River, the neighborhood began its revitalization in the 1980s when artists were drawn to the area by the promise of affordable rent. Today, the RAD is a thriving hub of artistic expression with thriving galleries and studios. The district is adorned with striking abstract murals. It features an architectural mix of early 1900s bungalows, Arts and Crafts styles, and modern split-level varieties. The local dining, shopping and entertainment scene showcases the area's artistry and community spirit. A locally owned favorite, 12 Bones Smokehouse, specializes in pulled pork, chipotle BBQ sauce and jalapeno cornbread. The weekly River Arts District Farmers' Market is well-stocked with fresh produce. Other pantry staples line the aisles at nearby Earth Food. Shoppers can head to Pink Dog Creative, a former textile warehouse turned into artist studios and shops. The Grey Eagle rocks the RAD with weekly shows. On the second Saturday of every month, galleries stay open for the "Second Saturday" event. When locals want more things to do, they can step outside. Greenways in the River Arts District provide opportunities for hiking and biking. The French Broad River draws kayakers to its waters. The nearby Carrier Park attracts sporty types with its abundance of athletic amenities. The neighborhood's transformation from an industrial area to a thriving artistic community makes it a unique and dynamic part of Asheville.
