Where is Reed Creek Greenway Apartments located?

Reed Creek Greenway Apartments sits along the Reed Creek Greenway corridor in Asheville, NC, giving residents direct access to walking and biking paths that connect to the Botanical Gardens at Asheville and the University of North Carolina Asheville (UNC Asheville) campus.

What can residents do near Reed Creek Greenway Apartments?

Asheville is known for packing an incredible amount of adventure into a small footprint, and living near Reed Creek Greenway puts much of it within a short drive.

Walk or bike the greenway right outside your door

The Reed Creek Greenway itself is the community's biggest perk. It's a shaded, low-traffic path that's ideal for a morning walk, an after-work bike ride, or getting the dog out without ever getting in the car. For residents craving a bigger challenge, the Asheville Hike Finder tool makes it easy to search regional trails by difficulty and distance, so a short greenway stroll can just as easily turn into a full day in the mountains.

Explore the Botanical Gardens and UNC Asheville campus

Just off the greenway, the Botanical Gardens at Asheville offer 10 acres of native plant life and quiet walking paths — a favorite for slow mornings and photography. The adjoining UNC Asheville campus adds even more green space, plus access to campus events, art exhibits, and coffee shops that give the area a lively, walkable feel.

Head downtown for dining, breweries, and live music

Asheville's downtown core — with its James Beard-recognized restaurant scene, dozens of breweries, and year-round live music — is just minutes from Reed Creek Greenway Apartments. It's close enough for a spontaneous dinner out, but far enough to come home to a quiet, residential setting.

Take a day trip to the River Arts District or Black Mountain

For a change of scenery, the River Arts District (RAD) offers gallery-hopping, riverside dining, and a scenic stretch of the French Broad River Greenway for biking or walking. Or point the car toward Black Mountain, a charming small town just outside city limits known for its independent shops, restaurants, and easy access to more Blue Ridge hiking.

Enjoy classic Asheville barbecue

No list of Asheville favorites is complete without barbecue. Residents looking for a low-effort backyard-style meal can find some of the region's best smoked meats at local favorites like 12 Bones Smokehouse, Luella's Bar-B-Que, and Bear's Smokehouse — all an easy drive from the community.
