Burlington. East of Knoxville, this historic district unfolds along Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Asheville Highway, where brick storefronts and longtime eateries frame a walkable main street. Recent public investment, including the City’s ongoing Burlington Streetscape Project, is elevating sidewalks, lighting, and landscaping to support local businesses and daily life.
Weekends here are easy to fill. Families can explore science and art at The Muse Knoxville, catch festivals at Chilhowee Park & Exposition Center, or make a day of it at Zoo Knoxville, all just minutes away. Nearby residential pockets like Parkridge and the leafy fairways of Holston Hills add to Burlington’s sense of place, whether you’re after bungalow charm, midcentury lines, or riverside greenspace.
Schools serving the area include Austin-East Magnet High School, known for its performing arts programs, and Holston Middle School. For lifelong learners, the Burlington Branch Library offers story times, digital resources, and community events right in the neighborhood. Commuters appreciate Knoxville Area Transit service running along the main corridors, putting downtown and major employers within easy reach.
If you’re weighing a move, Burlington offers attainable homes, front-porch conversations, and quick access to parks, museums, and local shops—plus steady momentum from targeted reinvestment.
