This marks seven golds and two silvers earned by Givens Estates in the past five years, a remarkable achievement.

Givens Estates was noted for its “215 acres of scenic mountain living with modern convenience, where older adults take full advantage of amenities, services and proximity to Asheville as a springboard for personal growth and fulfillment.”
