Want to Know About Crime Stats in Buncombe County?

As a real estate agent, this is a question that I get asked frequently: "What is the crime like in this area, is it safe?"

Now if you are planning on moving to Buncombe County or buying a home in a neighborhood that you are unfamiliar with, you have the resources to find out about the crime statistics in your neighborhood. The Asheville City Police Department and the Buncombe County Sheriff's Office have joined forces and are allowing public access to some great software. It's called "Crime Mapper"!

If you want more information on crime in a certain area of Buncombe County please visit this link http://gis.ashevillenc.gov/mapAsheville/crimemapper/. The site is pretty straight forward and easy to use and has many different search criteria available for the public to access crime information.
