Drakes Meadow is a smaller, single entrance subdivision with no through traffic which adds to its privacy. It is an executive community of traditional styled, multi-level homes. Exteriors are finished in a variety of materials and designs which add to the attractiveness of the community.
While there are a few mature trees, most trees and shrubs on the nicely landscaped yards are newer plantings. Lot sizes average almost .6 acres, and the spacing between homes and openness of the subdivision gives a stately feel to the homes in Drakes Meadow.
Although the area is more rural in nature, Drakes Meadow is conveniently located. Public schools servicing the subdivision are all within a 3 mile radius and the Asheville Airport, I-26 and many commercial and retail services are within a 4 mile radius. And nearby US 25 (Hendersonville Rd) provides direct access into Asheville.
Neighborhood Previews normally focuses on larger subdivisions, but Drakes Meadow is special and it is one that should be shared with home buyers not familiar with the area.
