    Living in Knoxville, TN

    Living in location

    With the Great Smoky Mountains rolling to the southeast and the Tennessee River to the immediate south, Knoxville is a scenic small town experiencing a year-after-year rental boom. Specifically, Knoxville renters are located 110 miles northeast of Chattanooga, TN; 180 miles east of Nashville, TN; 215 miles north of Atlanta; and 230 miles west of Charlotte, NC. Knoxville is best known for its cultural attractions, like the Knoxville Zoo, Knoxville Museum of Art, Tennessee Theatre, Ijams Nature Center, Neyland Stadium and more. However, from Middle Eastern dishes to Vietnamese, Knoxville's explosive culinary scene is gaining national attention. Gourmet foods aside, renters in Knoxville are attracted to the area's growing health care, education and technology industries. College students at the University of Tennessee, young professionals, retirees and military personnel are all renting in Knoxville. Renters with young ones receive a public education from the Knox County School District.

    Here, downtown Knoxville offers an urban setting with luxury apartment rentals close to bars, restaurants, and live entertainment, making the area ideal for University of Tennessee student renters. Or, Island Home - located along the Tennessee River - offers historic charm with original Bungalow homes and attracts families and young professionals seeking proximity to downtown and outdoor areas. Meanwhile, South Knoxville, which is connected to downtown by bridges, is a quiet getaway for families that want to be close to the Great Smoky Mountains. Additionally, Farragut is another quiet suburban neighborhood with rentals that are a short, 17-mile commute to downtown, along with a nearby golf course and museums.
