Urban & Walkable

downtown & old city

Knoxville’s downtown high rises and Old City buildings have experienced a solid renaissance and now house condominiums and lofts that appeal to retirees as well as young professionals. Many of the city’s signature arts & cultural shops, festivals, and events happen on these sidewalks and streets.  

Artsy & Historic

old north knoxville, oakwood, fourth & gill

Historic Craftsman and Queen Anne style homes have been preserved, restored and updated along with cottage gardens and new restaurants, galleries, shops and amenities.  Proximate to downtown, Knoxville’s central city neighborhoods share a hip, pedestrian-oriented vibe and lifestyle.

Affluent & Tranquil

sequoyah hills & west knoxville

Sequoyah Hills represents the epitome of living among shady manicured residential homes of Italianate, French, Colonial and Tudor architecture, and it is followed by other neighborhoods such as Forest Heights, Farragut, Holston Hills, and more rural communities like Corryton and Strawberry Plains.
