Dana places you in the heart of apple country, a quiet pocket of Henderson County minutes from Hendersonville and Flat Rock, with quick commutes along US‑64 and I‑26 to Fletcher. Tree‑lined backroads, mountain horizons, and seasonal farmstands give everyday errands a scenic backdrop, while local orchards and tasting rooms add weekend flavor.
Families appreciate strong public schools. Neighborhood students start at Dana Elementary School, move on to Apple Valley Middle School, and graduate from North Henderson High, known for academics, arts, and competitive athletics across the district.
Outdoor time comes easy. Hike waterfalls at DuPont State Recreational Forest, scale vistas at Chimney Rock State Park, or tour the literary landscape at the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site. Closer to home, sip estate wines at Saint Paul Mountain Vineyards and stock up during the region’s celebrated apple harvest and Hendersonville’s North Carolina Apple Festival.
Housing in Dana ranges from classic brick ranches on generous lots to new builds on rolling acreage, offering space to spread out without losing access to shops, healthcare, and dining in nearby towns. Whether you’re relocating for schools, downsizing for a quieter pace, or searching for that mountain‑adjacent retreat, local expertise makes all the difference. Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with top real estate professionals who know Dana’s market street by street.
