Set in North Carolina’s High Country, 28604 centers on Banner Elk with Sugar and Beech mountains rising on both sides, bringing cool summers, vivid fall color, and real snow in winter for skiing. Life revolves around the outdoors—Grandfather Mountain trails, Rough Ridge overlooks on the Blue Ridge Parkway, Sugar Mountain Golf & Tennis, and the Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster—balanced by a small-town village vibe around the green. The dining scene is cozy and local: Sorrento’s Bistro, Stonewalls, Banner Elk Cafe & Espresso Bar, Beech Mountain Brewing Company, and Banner Elk Winery, with groceries at Food Lion and shopping at the Village Shops; Tate-Evans Park and the Beech Mountain Recreation Center anchor green space and fitness. With Lees-McRae College in town, you’ll find a youthful arts and festival streak (hello, Woolly Worm Festival) alongside retirees and year-round families. Zillow’s market trends show a recent median rent in the low $2,000s, with most listings over the past few months roughly $1,400–$3,000+, higher in ski season; the area is notably pet friendly.

Ample parks and spaces for hiking, biking, and active recreation.
