Small-town community and city-living
A family oriented community, Haw Creek provides many advantages to its residents. “This is not your typical neighborhood,” says Elizabeth Putnam, a real estate broker at Mosaic Realty and a Haw Creek resident. “It’s a small community, but it’s in a busy part of Asheville where you still get the Mountain views and access to the downtown.” Haw Creek, a neighborhood on the east side of Asheville is full of exceptional schools, flourishing parks and scenic mountain views of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Despite its proximity to the heart of Asheville, this neighborhood has preserved its rural charm.
Named after the rushing creek that flows through the neighborhood, this North Carolina community has a 300-year-old history with agricultural roots. The meandering parkway roads wind through the forest in this mountain valley. Only 4 miles from a trendy and bustling downtown, Haw Creek is an ideal suburb, combining all the benefits of small-town living with the excitement of Asheville’s downtown scene.
