The United States is home to many different scenic towns for people to enjoy a view. From beaches and mountains to cities and country landscapes, there are a variety of views that we can enjoy. But, the mountain views are surely a great view we can all enjoy. Have you ever had a mountain view that really made you say “WOW”? There have been quite a few places that I have been and enjoy a great view.

Yard Barker is naming the most scenic U.S. mountain towns and I had to take a look. Of course, North Carolina has tons of cities with great mountain views so you would expect at least one to make the list. Well, you’re right! The North Carolina city that made the list for one of America’s most scenic mountain towns is Asheville, North Carolina. Asheville has a great view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state.

Asheville has tons of things for visitors to enjoy from outdoor activities to tours to great food and drinks. The quirky mountain town has a cool art scene and tons of galleries and shops for you to check out. If you are a fan of mountain towns and love to travel, then you might want to check out the full list. See the full list here and plan your next mountain town vacation destination.

There are cities that we once considered to be somewhat country towns that are now booming with people, businesses, homes, and more. We often wonder where are some of the most popular places to live in the U.S. But, that’s kind of hard to narrow down when there are some places growing at the speed of light. Over the years, there are certain parts of my hometown that I’ve seen go from woods and nothing to full-blown neighborhoods and schools. Some may love it and others may hate it, but our country is growing and growing every day by the minute.

Rocket Mortgage is naming the 15 fastest growing cities in the country and three of them are quite familiar to us. On the list of 15, there are 3 Carolina cities growing at the speed of light. Two cities in North Carolina and one in South Carolina. I decided to take a look into these three cities specifically so we can see where in the Carolinas people are relocating to. Can you guess?
