Crowfields sits on 72 acres in Asheville, NC, just off Hendersonville Road, and you'll notice right away that the whole place is surrounded by woods, meadows, small ponds, and a creek running through the parkland, so there's plenty of space to walk or watch wildlife and the land's been kept pretty natural since the early 1970s, which means there are mature trees, mountain views, and places for all sorts of birds and animals to wander by, and you'll also find paths that thread through the property, making it easy to stroll around, spot flowers, or just take in some quiet. The community has 192 condominium homes for adults aged 55 and up, and there are both one-story Villa plans and two-story Town House plans that range from about 1,300 up to 3,600 square feet, so folks can pick a home size and setup that fits their needs, and every home is taken care of by the Crowfields maintenance and grounds crew, which means you don't have to worry about the lawn, snow, or outside repairs, and there's a focus on keeping the place looking nice and preserving the trees and open land for everyone.
You'll find the clubhouse close to the creek-Dingle Creek-which passes right by before heading down to the French Broad River, and that clubhouse hosts events, community activities, and gets used by lots of resident-run committees, so there's a steady calendar of things to do if you want to join in. The community has an outdoor pool, a garden where residents can dig in the dirt if they like, and there's a fitness room, exercise classes, a game room, arts room, and common places inside and out for sitting, reading, chatting, or relaxing. Folks can visit the community library or join scheduled daily and community-sponsored activities, and there are walking paths through the woods and meadows that loop around the property. The community supports both private and shared room options, some with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, and all with things like Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, and telephone, so people can settle in at their own pace and style.
Crowfields offers some services for residents who need a little help, including a 24-hour call system, on-site staff for help with bathing, dressing, or managing medicine, and there's help with things like housekeeping, laundry, and making moving in a little easier, plus an emergency alert system. Dining happens in the community dining room, with meals available all day, and the kitchen works with different diets like those for diabetes or allergies. There's also transportation for getting out to stores or appointments, and there's parking for those with cars.

The office is open by appointment.
