Brevard, NC is located in Transylvania County, nicknamed the “Land of Waterfalls”, and is home to over 250 waterfalls and more than 50% covered by three parklands: Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Forest and Gorges State Park. Transylvania County is a growing community, popular with people of all ages and people living in Brevard have a true sense of community and donate their time to ensure this community stays a welcoming, caring, and trusting place. Don’t be surprised if a shop keeper asks you to ‘mind the store’ for a minute; everyone keeps an eye out for their neighbors. For families, this is an ideal place to live. With top notch schools and strong family values, children grow up with the same sense of community and a positive moral compass. Parents love that they can feel comfortable about their kids walking to town and enjoying a movie and a milk shake like they did as kids.

Experience the home town feeling in downtown Brevard. As a vibrant hub for the arts, the downtown is also the crossroads to exceptional outdoor recreation, connecting to national and state forests. Home to the white squirrel, the downtown is host to several annual festivals and special events (including the White Squirrel Music Festival, the Squirrel Box Derby, and the Old Time Music Competition). Many of the buildings from the 1920s remain due to millions of dollars of private investment to help retain the community’s heritage and pride of its past. Parts of the downtown area are a National Registered Historic District. Downtown is also a central community gathering place, encouraging residents and visitors to congregate for parades, street festivals, and special events that reinforce the sense of place and being part of a community. Catch the home town spirit in Brevard!
