Minutes from downtown Knoxville and flanked by Bearden and Sequoyah Hills, the neighborhood offers quick connections to Kingston Pike and I‑40/I‑75 for effortless commutes. Weekends often start at the riverfront lawns and trails of the beloved Lakeshore Park, where panoramic views and community programming make it a local favorite, and continue along the Third Creek Greenway for bikeable access toward campus and downtown. Shopping runs from independent boutiques to major retailers, with West Town Mall and the Bearden corridor close by.
