Brevard, NC Homes for Rent

The seat of Transylvania County, Brevard is a Blue Ridge Mountain town in southwestern North Carolina. With less than 8,000 residents, it’s tiny, but Brevard’s size belies its vibrance. Outdoor tourism is the dominant sector here, surrounded by state and national forests full of waterfalls. “Most of my clients are from out of town, whether they’re retirees, second-time homebuyers or families looking for a slower pace of life, moving from larger cities,” says Amanda Jennings Gravley, a Fisher Realty Realtor and Brevard local of nearly two decades. With more employers allowing flexible work-from-home options, Gravley states that Brevard is more accessible than ever, and with the exception of tourism, the city is not a big industry town. "So everybody who owns a home here actually wants to be here,” Gravley says, observing that, as a result, community involvement and engagement are high. “It’s what a lot of people come here looking for: to integrate into a really close-knit, eclectic, engaged community.” The median sales price for single-family homes is $550,000, close to $144,000 higher than the national median. List prices start at nearly $270,000 and climb to about $2 million.
