Moving in and out of Arden

Arden is an unincorporated community in southern Buncombe County. It sits between Skyland and Fletcher, close to the Henderson County line, and uses the 28704 ZIP code. Most Arden moves touch Interstate 26 at some point, through the Long Shoals Road or Airport Road (Exit 40) interchanges.

That stretch of I-26 has been under construction for years. NCDOT is widening it from Airport Road to Brevard Road, and the northern section between Long Shoals Road and Brevard Road was still being finished in 2026, with overnight closures for resurfacing and signage. We check NCDOT closure notices before we set a truck’s route and arrival window, so your crew isn’t stuck behind a lane closure at 8 a.m.

Relocating by air? Asheville Regional Airport is in Fletcher, right next to Arden off I-26 at Exit 40 and Airport Road (NC 280). For a long-distance move, we’ll arrange delivery timing around when and where you need your things.

What we plan for on an Arden move

Arden’s housing is spread across very different kinds of neighborhoods, and each one changes how we staff and load a move.

  • Biltmore Park Town Square. The town square at I-26 and Long Shoals Road mixes about 274 apartments, condos and townhomes with shops, offices, a hotel and a cinema. Expect shared parking, elevators or stairs, and building rules on move times. Send us your building’s move-in rules and we will plan the truck position and timing around them.
  • Subdivisions off Glenn Bridge Road, Mills Gap Road and Airport Road. Arden has dozens of subdivisions, from ranch homes and bungalows to newer townhome communities. If yours has an HOA, check its rules on where a moving truck can park and for how long, and pass them on to us.
  • Gated communities. The Cliffs at Walnut Cove is a private, gated golf community in Arden that borders Pisgah National Forest. Gated moves need gate access arranged in advance, and larger homes often mean a packing day before the move.
  • Creek-side roads. Some Arden neighborhoods have one access road that crosses a creek. If your street has a weight limit or a temporary repair, tell us at the quote stage so we can bring the right size truck.

Helene and the Arden housing market

Helene hit southern Buncombe County hard in September 2024. In one Arden neighborhood, Little Hickory Creek washed out a culvert under the only road in, trapping residents until volunteers built a temporary crossing that could carry only pickup-size vehicles.

The market has shifted since. Our WNC Migration Study found that Buncombe County saw the steepest migration reversal of any large U.S. county after Helene, and the number of homes for sale doubled. If you are selling in Arden and buying elsewhere, a gap between closing dates is common. Most local moves finish in a day, two at most, so tell us both closing dates when you ask for a quote. If the dates don’t line up, we offer secure on-site storage.
