Our Take
Brasstown offers a truly quiet, rural mountain lifestyle for those seeking solitude and nature. While it boasts a high rate of home ownership and low flood risk, residents must contend with extreme car dependency and very limited local amenities, making it best suited for specific lifestyles.
