Why Knoxville?

As a Knoxville realtor, I am often faced with the question,“Why Knoxville?” Due to my 15 years of experience residing in this community, I can confidently say, “Why not Knoxville?!” From the low housing costs to the diverse housing options available, Knoxville has something for everyone. Knoxville can offer you a quieter, suburban or lively, urban community at a cost lower than the national average. Below I have listed my top five reasons to say, “Why not Knoxville?”

LOCATION

They don’t call it Rocky Top for nothin’… Knoxville is located just along The Great Smoky Mountains, the most visited park in The US. Surrounded by mountains and lakes, Knoxville gives you unlimited access to outdoor activities galore at your fingertips. If you’re in the suburbs, grab a friend and check out The Concord Marina for kayak and paddleboard rentals! If you’re near The University of Tennessee, the Knoxville Riverfront is a must-see.

SCHOOLS

Knox County School District ranks among the top-performing in the nation in academics, standardized testing, athletic programs, graduation rates, and more. Knoxville is also home to The University of Tennessee, a highly prestigious college. UTK’s fanbase, The Tennessee Volunteers, are passionate about supporting their team, especially for Football Season. You can expect to see lots of orange, and lots of smiling faces around Knoxville each fall.

FOOD

Knoxville’s property tax, sales tax, and cost of living were all lower than the national average. Their home value, on the other hand, was higher than the national average. This makes it the perfect time to buy and sell in Knoxville.
