Island Home offers a seamless blend of history, natural beauty, and community spirit, uniquely setting it apart within Knoxville. Characterized by its collection of early 20th-century homes along tree-lined streets, this neighborhood radiates a distinctive sense of place just south of downtown Knoxville. Residents enjoy front-porch conversations and a serene atmosphere, all while being moments away from the urban excitement and local favorites on Sevier Avenue.
Island Home’s proximity to the Ijams Nature Center makes it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Take a stroll, kayak along the Tennessee River, or hike through lush woodlands — it’s all within reach. The neighborhood is also adjacent to the scenic Neyland Greenway, making cycling or jogging into downtown a breeze.
Families are drawn to Island Home not just for its charming homes, but also for its commitment to education. South Knoxville Elementary serves the younger residents, while nearby Dogwood Elementary and South-Doyle Middle School provide further strong options. The presence of the Downtown Island Airport adds a unique, historic touch, offering a glimpse of small-plane activity and a nod to the area’s aviation past.
