Grace, located between Downtown Asheville and the Grove Park area, is a residential and historic Asheville neighborhood with leafy streets and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Merrimon Avenue near the Asheville City Hall complex, where coffee counters, local eateries, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Community pillars include Thomas Wolfe Memorial, Asheville Community Theatre, and the Grove Arcade’s local maker stalls. Brick bungalows and classic foursquares sit on gentle slopes leading toward the French Broad River basin. Sidewalk pockets and pocket parks shape a walk-and-bike rhythm. The feel stays calm on side streets, with a busier commercial edge along Merrimon.

It is the intent of the RS-8 Residential Single-Family High Density District to establish a high density per acre for single-family dwellings where public infrastructure is sufficient to support such development and to stabilize and protect the district's residential character in areas of existing high density single-family development while promoting a suitable environment for single-family living. Non-single-family development normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area is also permitted.
