Finding a home that balances nature and modern convenience isn’t always easy. But what if your backyard came with plenty of amenities to unwind and enjoy the outdoors?

We recently toured The Hominy Apartments, a stunning new community just minutes from the Buncombe County Sports Complex.

Here’s what we discovered during our visit:

Disc golf galore
Residents have access to a private DGDG disc golf course featuring challenging elevation changes, beachy terrain, and technical gaps. The course is also open to paid members of the WNCDGA.

It’s outdoorsy
With direct access to Pole Creek and Hominy Creek, tubing, fishing, hiking, and swimming are easy. The property’s peaceful vibe, lush green spaces, and cozy country feel blend perfectly with all the perks of city living.

Prime location
The Hominy is just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville and close to I-40 and shopping.
