Blending walkability, natural beauty, and thoughtfully planned design, Straus Park is widely regarded as one of Brevard’s premier in-town communities. Located between downtown Brevard and the entrance to Pisgah National Forest, Straus Park offers a rare combination of mountain living and everyday convenience. Residents can walk or bike to restaurants, breweries, medical offices, and the Estatoe Trail, while still enjoying tree-lined streets, protected green space, and mountain views.
Inspired by the principles of traditional neighborhood design, Straus Park was carefully planned to encourage outdoor living and a strong sense of community. Homes are connected by sidewalks, walking trails, parks, and common gathering spaces rather than being isolated on winding mountain roads. The neighborhood includes custom homes, cottages, townhomes, condominiums, and homesites, offering options for a variety of lifestyles and budgets.
At the heart of the community is a beautiful six-acre private lake with a dock and lake house for non-motorized boating, along with a clubhouse, outdoor swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, community garden, meadow, and miles of walking trails. These amenities, combined with the neighborhood’s mature landscaping and preserved green spaces, make Straus Park one of the most desirable communities in Transylvania County.
Another major advantage is the location. Downtown Brevard, Pisgah National Forest, the Brevard Music Center, and Transylvania Regional Hospital are all just minutes away. The community also sits directly adjacent to the Estatoe Trail, making it possible to bike or walk into downtown or toward Pisgah National Forest without getting in your car.
Whether you’re searching for a luxury custom home, a low-maintenance townhome, or a place to build your dream home, Straus Park offers an exceptional lifestyle that combines convenience, recreation, and timeless neighborhood design.
