    Zip code 28804 spans North Asheville and Woodfin, where wooded hillsides meet Beaver Lake and the French Broad River. Expect four distinct yet mild seasons, cool mountain nights, a friendly porch‑sitting culture, and easy access to UNC Asheville and the Botanical Gardens—plus plenty of pups on the trails. Daily life centers on the Merrimon Avenue corridor: Trader Joe’s, The Fresh Market, and Harris Teeter for groceries; High Five and PennyCup for coffee; Vinnie’s and Asheville Pizza & Brewing for laid‑back dining; local gyms; and riverfront breweries like Zillicoah. Outdoor time is big—Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary, Richmond Hill Park’s hiking/biking trails and disc golf, and waterfront parks in Woodfin—while downtown Asheville is minutes away for galleries and live music. According to Zillow’s Rental Manager Market Trends (past few months), the 28804 median asking rent has hovered in the mid‑$1,800s, with most rentals roughly $1,400–$2,500+. Family‑ and pet‑friendly with a relaxed, community vibe.
