Haw Creek

This is one of Asheville's convenient hide-aways. After you turn off Tunnel Road and head into this area, it's hard to believe you were just in a city. Haw Creek is an older neighborhood with mature trees and wildlife. There are homes that date back to the 1920's, but there are also many newer homes, too.

Between March 2006 and March 2007 there were 48 single family residences sold by Realtors in this area according to the local Multiple Listing Service. Of those, 14 were in the range of $100,000 to $200,000. Styles varied widely and included ranch, contemporary, manufactured, and cottage/bungalow. These homes ranged in age from being built in the 20's to the 80's. The acreage was from .21 to .65 acre and the square footage was from 817 to 1880 square feet. Many had two bedrooms, but some had three. They had from one bathroom to 2 1/2 baths.

The largest number of homes sold in Haw Creek during that time were 21 in the $200,000 to $300,000 range. These included the same styles as above, plus some newly built homes in the Tudor, arts and crafts, colonial, and Cape Cod styles. Acreage went from .17 to .85 acres. Homes had from two to six bedroom and one to four bathrooms. Square footage varied from 1214 to 3277 square feet.

There were 11 homes sold in the $300,000 to $400,000 range, mostly new construction. They had from three to five bedrooms and usually 2 1/2 baths. The acreage went from .3 to 1.7 acres and square footage went from 1891 to 2571 square feet.

One home sold in the $400,000 to $500,000 range. It had about 1 1/2 acres, which included a pond. The newer custom-built, 2-storey home had nearly 4700 square feet.

The most expensive home on record sold in that time period was about $520,000. It was an older home, a unique ranch built in the '40s on a little over 2 1/2 acres. The home with beautiful views had almost 2400 square feet.

There are some townhouses and multifamily dwellings, but not many.

This area feels rural, but there are places where homes are quite close together. The mature trees and narrow, winding roads make it feel more remote than it is.
