The Woods
100 – 500 Founders Drive
Asheville, NC 28804
The Woods community is UNC Asheville’s newly developed apartment-style housing for upper-classmen students. Living in The Woods allows students to remain close to campus while experiencing more independent living. The names of the individual buildings are namesakes of North Carolina native trees: Aspen Hall, Beech Hall, Cedar Hall, Chestnut Hall, Magnolia Hall, and Willow Hall. Designed to foster community, the five halls consist of apartments housing for four, five, or six students. Each apartment includes a spacious common area and a full-size kitchen with amenities. Each hall features a community laundry room where students have access to washers and dryers free of charge. Students can also enjoy studying, lounging, or taking in the mountain views on the porch areas, swings, or outdoor seating areas. Chestnut Hall, located along University Heights, includes the Donna and David Bailey Welcome Center on the top level and a fitness center open to all students 24/7 on the lower level.
With each unit offering a full-size kitchen with full-size appliances, no meal plans are required; however, students do have the option to purchase a block meal plan. See the Dining Services website for more information about meal plans. Because each unit kitchen is equipped with a full-size refrigerator, stove, and microwave, micro-fridges are not provided within individual rooms.
