The Vistas of Westfield sits near UNC Asheville, the NC Center for Creative Retirement, and Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College, so it's easy to find classes or activities close by, and you've also got Mission Hospitals nearby for medical care, which many folks want as they get older, and the neighborhood gives you mountain views along with good access to Interstates 40 and 26 and Asheville Regional Airport, which means visiting family or getting around isn't hard. This is a planned community where people can retire and keep busy, and the homes are low maintenance, with yard work and exterior repairs handled for you, so you won't be out mowing the lawn or up on a ladder, and the houses themselves come in sizes from around 1,760 to nearly 2,700 square feet, most with either two or three bedrooms and bathrooms, attached two-car garages, large kitchens, sunrooms, dens, laundry rooms, main level living, and sometimes an extra bonus room and extra bath above the garage. The builder, Lifestyle Homes of Distinction, aims for high quality, and every home has either vaulted or flat ceilings, walk-in closets, designer cabinets and finishes, hardwood and ceramic tile floors, gas fireplaces, tankless water heaters, high-efficiency furnaces, and city utilities set up underground, with low county taxes as a plus. There's a choice between plans like the Olmstead and Sandburg, and the price runs between $669,900 and $699,900, which does cover the homesite, and you can pick out colors and finishes so your home feels like yours, and everything's set up to help you just move in and start living.
The community's got sidewalks, street lights, and hiking trails, so there's lots of room for easy walking, plus a creekside trail, gazebo, and outdoor common spaces like a community park. The clubhouse is a busy spot, with a kitchen, workout room, and spaces to gather, and there's a fitness center, outdoor swimming pool, and patio with a grilling area for those who like to visit outdoors or have a cookout, and you'll find a community theater, spa, library, and plenty of programs like movie nights or resident-run activities if you want to join in. Meals are easy, since there's all-day dining in the dining room, restaurant-style options, chef-prepared meals, allergy-sensitive food, plus meal prep and service for those who don't want to cook at home. Services are part of daily life here, with housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, move-in help, and a concierge for questions or errands, so you can spend time doing the things you want instead of chores.
Inside each home, you'll get features people need, like private bathrooms, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a telephone line, and the community offers support for folks who need non-ambulatory care or some daily help, like 24-hour supervision, medication management, and help with personal care if needed, so you're not on your own when you need some extra support. The community's designed with themed activity zones and gathering areas, so there's always something to do or space for quiet time, and the homes meet or exceed recent building codes, with builder and manufacturer warranties for peace of mind. Home plans are flexible for accessibility, and you can build new with guidance if you'd rather start from scratch than buy one that's already finished, and the sales office sits at 61 Westfield Way, Candler, open most days by appointment.
All in all, The Vistas of Westfield is a quiet, walkable spot with a focus on easy living, plenty of amenities, and thoughtful services for people in retirement or those wanting active adult living, and everything's set up so you can enjoy your time without worrying about the details, which a lot of people find helpful as the years go by.
