The vibrant High Country economy is fueled by the presence of Appalachian State University with almost 14,000 students, second home residents located throughout the area, and a strong tourism industry. There are many exclusive, gated residential communities located in the three county region which significantly contribute to the positive economic climate here. Boone, North Carolina, located in Watauga County, is the commercial center of the High Country. In addition to Boone, many local communities such as Blowing Rock, Foscoe, Valle Crucis, Seven Devils, Linville, Sugar Mountain, Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, Newland and West Jefferson have numerous commercial real estate opportunities. There are a variety of commercial buildings in the High Country that are presently on the market serving the retail, office, manufacturing and multifamily needs of this fast growing area in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of northwest North Carolina. |
