Beverly Hills, located between Tunnel Road and the Swannanoa River corridor, is a residential and hillside Asheville neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and long, wooded views. Around the Tunnel Road corridor near the Asheville Mall, the pace shifts to a busy strip of local eateries, small storefronts, and everyday errands. The Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Western North Carolina Nature Center act as cultural anchors close by. Streets curve along ridgelines, with pockets of brick and stone houses set back behind mature trees. Short drives connect to the Blue Ridge Parkway’s overlooks and trailheads, while nearby commercial blocks keep daily routines grounded.
