Jamie’s guidebook - Asheville & West Asheville
Neighborhoods
West Asheville has a very local feel. Many young industry workers & professionals live here. We all love visiting downtown Asheville, but like to call West Asheville home, because it has a more local feel vs touristy feel. It is extremely walkable, with many great coffee shops, restaurants, breweries & eclectic shops! But at the same time, more quiet than downtown.

Sightseeing
Awesome Beer! Set right along the French Broad River with great outdoor seating, and almost always a food truck. I recommend the classic Fat Tire Amber Ale, but there are so many good beers to choose from.
