I can’t say enough good things about my time at Hawthorne at Haywood! From the moment I stepped into the community, I was captivated by the beautiful landscaping and inviting atmosphere. The apartments are spacious, modern, and filled with natural light, making them feel like a true sanctuary. What truly sets this place apart are the amazing team members, Kara, the Community Manager, and Lee, the leasing agent. Kara’s dedication to creating a welcoming community is evident; she goes above and beyond to ensure residents feel at home. Lee is equally impressive, providing exceptional support throughout the leasing process. Her professionalism and attentiveness made my experience seamless and enjoyable. The amenities are fantastic, with a resort-style pool and a well-equipped fitness center that cater to all needs. Plus, the sense of community is strong, thanks to regular events and activities that bring neighbors together. Hawthorne at Haywood is perfectly located near shopping and dining, adding to its appeal. If you’re looking for a vibrant, luxurious place to live, I wholeheartedly recommend Hawthorne at Haywood—and don’t forget to ask for Kara and Lee! They truly make all the difference.

The team at Haywood is amazing. The office staff are some of the nicest people I've ever met. The maintenance staff is super responsive and friendly as well. They are very dog friendly, so my pups (& myself) always feel welcome.

From March 2020 until May 2023, over 3+ years, I had an overall great experience living at Hawthorne at Haywood. I never had a single complaint from any of my neighbors, and got along with most neighbors very well. It's a great location to get anywhere in WNC since you're only a 1/4 mile from I-40 East or West and only about 1 mile from the I-26/240 interchange to go North or South. There was always a parking spot near the building entrance whenever I got home, even though they weren't reserved spots (however there's definitely been an influx of folks with multiple cars over the years so I'm not sure if that's still the case). The property was well-cared for with almost daily trash pick-up, diligent maintenance guys, and good neighbors that would keep an eye out for stuff that needed to be addressed too. The views from the property were awesome, from both my apartment and from the dog park, a mostly unobstructed view southwest toward the ridge line , parkway, and Mount Pisgah in the distance. The office staff and maintenance staff were friendly and professional + my dog got a treat almost every single time that we visited the clubhouse. I loved that there was a dog wash station near the pool in it’s own building + the dog park was definitely a great place to have my new pup interact with other pups. The property is somewhat disconnected from the surrounding neighborhood (there’s fragments of new sidewalk connecting to a nearby commercial mall with restaurants) however much of this area is hotels, gas stations, car dealerships, and it’s commercially-focused. So, I’m just mentioning this because going on a neighborhood walk or run is a little dicey considering the sometimes heavy traffic flow and the continuously evolving pedestrian situation. Fortunately, it’s only about 5 minutes from the Buncombe County Sports Park, 10 minutes or less to Haywood Road (central West Asheville), about 15 minutes from the Arboretum and Blue Ridge Parkway, and there’s a pick between 2 Ingles grocery stores, Lowe’s and Home Depot, and a lot of other weekly conveniences within 5-10 minutes as well (Enka post office, Dripolator Coffeehouse, car wash, etc). It’s mostly quiet, however the property is located near the curving off-ramp for Exit 44 (Enka, Candler, West Asheville) so that definitely adds some noise, especially infrequent Jake-braking noise, so it’s something to consider if you’re sensitive to it. All-in-all, I’d say that this property is a solid 8.5 out of 10. I enjoyed living there for the time that I did, and I’d recommend it if someone were looking to live pretty close to Asheville and still have the convenience of hoping on I-40 or I-26 to visit the other nearby towns.
