North Carolina Mountains - One of the Best Places to Relocate or Retire

The North Carolina mountain region is beautiful, with an agreeable climate and a wide variety of recreational activities. A long time favorite of tourists, the region is increasingly becoming one of the best places to live in North Carolina.

The mountain region consists of a large strip of the southern Appalachian Mountains that cuts across the western fifth of the state. There are two major mountain ranges running parallel to one another in this area: the Great Smoky Mountains straddling the Tennessee border in the west, and the Blue Ridge Mountains just to the east.

The rugged terrain and high elevations that characterize the mountain region of North Carolina made it an isolated place as late as the 1940’s. Today, several interstate and state highways as well as a regional airport in Asheville make getting around the mountain region much easier. Nevertheless, this history of isolation means most communities in the mountain region are smaller and more affordable places to live.
