Biltmore Forest Town Hall

Biltmore Forest Town Hall

July 4th brought gorgeous weather to WNC. I decided to spend the day by the pool after a morning of pulling ivy away from our rhododendron and azalea. In short time, my grandson and two college gal pals dropped by for the afternoon. I got all the details about the recent debutante festivities and presentations … the parties, the clothes … the works!

But their big decision of the day was which wonderful Asheville restaurant to patronize on July 4th and which set of fireworks to watch … presumably the ones on the lawn of our historic City Hall … following the ever popular “shindig-on-the-green”. This, after attending the morning “parade” in Biltmore Forest.

Each July 4th, “children” of all ages meet around the Biltmore Forest Town Hall. The kids decorate their trikes and bikes in hopes of winning prizes for the best July 4th decorated kiddy vehicles. A parade of happy faces on all sorts of contraptions head from there to one of two parks for the festivities. Watermelon, hot dogs, games and good old fashioned community fellowship is enjoyed by all.

Later in the day, members of the Biltmore Forest Country Club enjoyed a beautiful day of pool and tennis followed by the annual 4th celebration. Hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ ribs and all the traditional picnic fare … kids were treated to games, face painting and activities on the #1 tee and fairway.

Biltmore Forest is a town surrounded by Asheville, bound by charming Biltmore Village on the north end, Biltmore Estate west side and the Blue Ridge Parkway on the south end. It’s a fine place to live for anyone who appreciates natural beauty, mature trees, convenience to downtown Asheville with its cosmopolitan atmosphere and many activities. High volume and reduced prices equal an excellent time to buy real estate in this premier community. For a list of homes for sale in Biltmore Forest, go to our home page and select “search MLS”.
