Hendersonville has many seniors and is known as a retirement area, unlike Asheville 20 miles north of us, which has the opposite reputation, for being a place youth want to come to. Some of the long-term native folks of the area seem to resent the issues having lots of seniors living in the area but overall most younger residents understand out-of-state seniors moving into the area is a good thing for our Henderson county. Henderson county has many good restaurants, a great hospital with an orthopedic surgery unit with a high reputation. We have small, 10-20 seat shuttle vans that travel up and down the more major roads. Lots of entertainment, great hiking, a wonderful place if you can still get out and enjoy it, great weather generally to be enjoyed if you can't. A great place all around.
