Alice Place Homes for Sale (Oakley)

Alice Place is a charming community only a few minutes from downtown Asheville, NC. Located in the long-standing Oakley neighborhood (situated slightly southeast of downtown), Alice Place is filled with newly built homes that have been designed to fit right in with the arts-and-crafts bungalows that are prevalent throughout Asheville. Each home has a level, easy-to-maintain front yard, so you won’t have to stress about yard work, and some homes even have attached garages, patios, and covered front porches. Most Alice Place homes are two-story, containing three bedrooms, with some floorplans placing the master bedroom on the first floor and others putting it on the second floor with the two smaller bedrooms. 

If you have kids (or simply want to live in a cozy, safe community with no through-traffic), Alice Place is for you. Alice Clement Lane, the street that runs through the community, is a city-maintained dead end, so kids can freely play outside without the danger of busy traffic. Oakley, the neighborhood that surrounds Alice Place, is mostly residential and contains an elementary school. Other neighborhood highlights include a weekly farmer’s market, local restaurants and breweries, parks, and proximity to grocery stores, hardware stores, gyms, pharmacies, and the Oakley/South Asheville Library. Of course, there’s also the added benefit of being nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which means that mountain ridges can be seen in many directions surrounding Alice Place. 

Entrances to the Blue Ridge Parkway are only minutes from this community, and Interstate 40 can be conveniently accessed from Alice Place as well. Downtown Asheville, Biltmore Village, and the Biltmore Estate are all nearby. Overall, Alice Place is an excellent community for first-time and experienced homeowners alike. You’ll find that homes in this community have many premium upgrades that you wouldn’t expect to find at this reasonable price point.
