I too am interested in visiting Asheville area and Charlottesville. Hannah seeing that you have lived in Asheville and are going to Charlottesville, how about a recap after you have been there awhile? Hit the major categories like the retirement books do: ambience(atmosphere), climate, housing cost, cost of living, colleges, crime, acceptance/friendliness,city planning for growth? economy and the job competition. Just your opinion after getting a feel for the place! My major concern over the Asheville area is crime and the availability of top notch health care. I dont see the hospital there listed as a Level One Trauma Center but this could be old info I read. Both cities have many positives going for them aside from the scenery and weather. I have read how people love the city of Asheville, and often comment on the friendliness of its people. My major concern in Charlottesville is cost of living.Most list it as a high cost of living but one listed it as lower than the area in which I live(Cleve. Ohio suburbs) The other issue is acceptance of a Northerner. My father was from W.VA. grew up poor but worked his way to a better life. So I honor mountain people for their work ethic,hospitality and not taking on airs. From my only experience in Virginia(Williamsburg) The people were friendly and gracious. As I do not like the “in your face” culture that much of the United States is falling victim to, I appreciate manners and self restraint. I hope Virginians would accept me for being hard working and honest and minding my manners. I dont have hundreds of years to gain acceptance/respect. But be clear I honor the generations of your family that earned theirs. So the main areas to examine are acceptance, top notch health and crime levels. Also I have two young adults in the family who may pursue History, Theatre and a Medical Major. My self, I need a great library system, nature trails, music, part time work and access to classes. So thats a tall order but any info/opinions provided would be appreciated. Congratulations to both the people of Asheville and Charlottesville. I hope you continued happiness!
