Chunn's Cove, located between the Blue Ridge Parkway and East Asheville, is a residential and wooded Asheville neighborhood with curving hillside roads and long-range mountain views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Tunnel Road corridor near the VA Medical Center, where car lots, local eateries, and everyday services line a fast-moving commercial strip. Homes lean toward mid-century ranches and later builds set back in mature trees, giving many streets a quiet, tucked-away feel. Highland Brewing Company anchors nearby with a brewery campus and outdoor gathering space. The Folk Art Center on the Parkway adds a craft-forward cultural note, while Azalea Park brings riverfront green space close to home.
