Neighborhood Description The mountain community of Chestnut Hills was established in 1922 and has a range of site-built homes from the 1920s to the 2000s. About half the residents are full-time, with the rest being either vacation or summer homes. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, with a mix of retirees and young families. There is a commons that includes a pond, a shelter house and wells which supply water to all the homes. Located across the highway are the Gerton Community Center, where several events are held throughout the year, and the Hickory Creek Market with a wide range of organic fare. Gerton also has a post office and a fire department. The subdivision is surrounded by hundreds of acres of nature preserves, save one boundary with an eco-housing development. There are many miles of hiking trails in the immediate area, and access to boating, kayaking, canoeing and the beach at Lake Lure.
