Biltmore Park Town Square is Asheville’s first mixed-use community. While many have failed over the years, Biltmore Park Town Square truly continues to get better.

It spans over 42 acres and includes retail shops, restaurants, a movie theater, office space, apartments, condos and townhomes. Like Biltmore Village, many of the shops are national chains (Orvis, Loft, REI, Barnes & Noble…), but there are local places as well. Check out our Biltmore Park shopping guide for additional details.
