 Asheville's slogan - "Altitude Affects Attitude" - couldn't be more apt  for a city ranked as one of the best places to live in the world.  Barron's groups Asheville, North Carolina with Jupiter, Florida and  Provence, France in its Top 20 Places to Live. It's known as the mecca  for those seeking adventure and culture without compromising that small  town, Americana feel. 

If Greenville, South Carolina could be summed up in one phrase, it`d  be quality of life. The visionaries of Greenville`s past, its present,  and its future have built a city recognized across the country as a  model environment for families, entrepreneurs, and professionals.

Mid-way between The Cliffs and Asheville is the charming town of  Hendersonville, North Carolina, a perfect destination for historical and  cultural pursuits and renowned antiquing. Home to the Flat Rock  Playhouse and NC Apples Festival, Hendersonville teems with performing  arts and family activities. Visit nationally revered poet Carl  Sandburg`s home or fly fish in Dupont State Forest. Whatever your  weekend includes, make sure it includes Hendersonville.

 Landrum, South Carolina, and Saluda and Tryon, North Carolina are among  the Carolinas` finest horse country. Equestrian activities, including  the Tryon Riding and Hunting Club`s annual Block House Steeplechase, and  the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center bring horse lovers from all  parts to race and raise their thoroughbreds. For those who enjoy softer adventures, spend an afternoon at one of  Tryon`s ten vineyards, including Rockhouse Vineyards, where you can  taste and purchase the house`s Chardonnay, Chambourcin, Merlot, and  Viognier. Peppered with protected parklands, waterfalls, and whitewater rapids,  Polk County, North Carolina offers some of the most scenic drives and  abundant recreation in the Carolina Preserve - a perfect place for  family fun. Rated among Money magazine`s and The Wall Street Journal`s best places  to retire, the Saluda-Tryon-Landrum area surrounding The Cliffs  Communities is one of the many vibrant towns waiting to be discovered  and enjoyed time and again.
