Hi Cindy,

We moved to Hendersonville from West Palm Beach about 3 years ago, although my dad and his family have been here since before the Civil War ( so we are "local" by default). We moved to the western part of Hendersonville so we are 20 minutes from Brevard, 20 minutes from Asheville and 40 minutes from Greenville, SC - we go to all those places frequently.
My daughter is turning 11 and went to Mills River Elementary, the new campus will be completed for this fall, it's a green, eco-friendly school and the teachers are fantastic - I highly recommend it. Rugby Middle School and West Henderson High School are across the street from each other and very convenient.
I highly recommend a membership with the Leila Patterson Center, it's a fitness club with lap pool, therapy pool, hot tub, swim lessons, full fitness club, gymnasium, yoga classes, spinning, etc. They are affiliated with the Seventh Day Adventist Church so they are closed Saturdays (we're usually to busy to notice).
There is a new skateboard park opening this spring. Outdoor Family Fun Center has great golf spring break and summer camps as well as lessons.
If you are coming into town I would be happy to give you a mom's-view tour.

If you are looking for a good church you should try Biltmore Baptist Church (off long shoals road on I-26) this is a GREAT church for families with children. They even have their own sports teams called "Upward Sports".

Emmanuel Lutheran (off Patton) is a great family church, they also have a school and an incredible summer camp program.
