Brevard North Carolina Real Estate
Brevard and Transylvania County are steadily
growing with emphasis on real estate, tourism
and college-town appeal. This also enhances
Brevard’s desirability as a retirement and
second-home location. Nearby, Cummings Cove

condominiums to easy-care cottages, villas and
mountaintop estates.

volunteers to assist in many civic and
educational programs. Year-round and summer
residents contribute significantly to Brevard
Academy, Brevard College and Blue Ridge

for this small town to provide a broad spectrum
of programs and activities.
