High Quality Life in Ashe County North Carolina

A small-town feel with a booming economy has now become the fastest growing movement in America.  Embracing a high quality life in Ashe County, North Carolina is the new American dream.

Families are moving quickly away from city life, high taxes, traffic and heat. However, many mountain communities are already rising in both popularity and price.  Everyone seems to be looking for hidden-gem counties, like Ashe County, North Carolina.

Moving away from city life seems to be on everyone’s conversation and mind more than ever. Forget quarantines and government mandated control tactics. Cities are being taken over by gangs, violent crime and on-going car-jackings  Furthermore, you can rest assured that violence and increased Marshall Law will continue to grow.

Once a mid-size affordable town, Atlanta, Georgia is now one of the highest crime rated cities in America. Atlanta, GA is between 2 and 3 times higher than the national average according to Neighborhood Scout which states, “With a crime rate of 58 per one thousand residents, Atlanta has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes – from the smallest towns to the very largest cities.”

Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte are quickly on the rise as well. Even the beloved, Charleston, South Carolina, one of the most highly visited cities in the United States, is challenged with city crime and gang-related violence not to mention traffic.
