Yancey
6.0
High score (8-10)
Yancey County — Burnsville — sits at the base of Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi, and is an established mountain arts community. The Burnsville Painting Workshops draw serious artists from across the country for several weeks each summer, and the Toe River Arts Council is unusually active for a county of 18,000. Burnsville's town square is genuine small-mountain-town America with real quality. Cheap real estate within forty minutes of Asheville.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Burnsville is small — the county seat has about 1,600 people — and the social infrastructure reflects it. The arts community is real but limited to a small circle. Asheville is forty-five minutes for anything more. Quiet, beautiful, limited.
Lower score (below 6)
