Shiloh Asheville, NC

A peaceful neighborhood with a quirky past

Scenic Mountains Biltmore

Tucked into the hills of south Asheville with spectacular mountain views, Shiloh developed during the 1870s. Today, this historic community is one of the area's most diverse -- and is in a completely different location. Shiloh began where the Biltmore Estate is today -- George Vanderbilt purchased the land in the late 1880s and moved the entire community, including the church and the cemetery, to its current location. The neighborhood is often referred to as "New Shiloh," with its former, original location called "Old Shiloh."

Shiloh, once an independent village, was annexed by Asheville in 1954 -- completely by accident. The village became a part of Asheville due to a clerical error in the state attorney's office. Shiloh still has that independent feel, located about three miles south of Downtown Asheville and east of the Biltmore Estate. Shiloh is located between Hendersonville Road and I-40 and is mostly residential. Shops, restaurants, and businesses are located along Hendersonville Road.
