What people are saying about Hendersonville | |
| Hendersonville, NC | |
| We retired to Hendersonville from New Hampshire two years ago. We are very happy here. The community is very friendly and offers everything needed in order to live happily. The downtown is spectacular and offers countless activities throughout the year. Any and all retail and dining offerings are nearby. Medical care is abundant. Public Safety services are first class. The winter is brief. In a lot of ways I feel like this is NH only warmer. Although statistically the crime stats are reported as being high, we have never experienced any criminal activity. We feel just as safe here as we did in NH. This is a good area for anyone who wants to feel welcome and safe. The one downside for me is traveling to Asheville via the Interstate. I-26 seems to be backed every day. If you plan to visit Asheville a lot prepare to learn alternate routes. Other than that, I highly recommend Hendersonville. | |

| By all reports a nice town, but what about crime | |
| By all reports that we can find most people are really happy about retiring to and living in Hendersonville. Seems to live up to the hype. But here was a comment from a visitor, and our response - feel free to chime in to the discussion! "I plan a retirement move this coming spring with most interest thus far in Hot Springs Village, AR. After your article, I looked at Hendersonville and thought it merited a “look/see” trip – until I looked up the crime versus population rates. Holy cow! I think I’ll pass. But I enjoyed your article just the same…." and our response: I am always amazed at the surprising crime rates in a lot of small towns, particularly in college towns and often in southern towns. Don't know if who is doing the crime, or what exactly is going on. One thing to look at is the type of crime. Lots of murders, rapes, and assaults not so good. If it is property related (mostly in Hendersonville's case, with the exception of assaults), then high crime rates often happen in the most surprising places. I spent some time looking through City-Data.com's discussion forums on Hendersonville and did not see much if any mention of crime. You might look there to get a better feel. | |
