Living in Downtown Knoxville

Downtown Knoxville isn’t just a place you live, it’s a place where you belong.

The people.

It’s city life with a diverse community of families, young professionals, empty nesters and students. Yet it keeps that small-town feel, where neighbors know your name and your favorite coffee shop barista remembers your order.

The neighborhood.

It’s an expression of your attitude – the bustling atmosphere of Market Square and Gay Street, the serenity of river views at Volunteer Landing, the eclectic vibe of the Old City, or the expansive greenspace at World’s Fair Park. Whether you choose to rent or own, it’s about finding your home among downtown’s historic beauty and innovative spirit.

The essentials.

It’s grabbing dinner, ordering your prescriptions, making a quick run to the bank, or getting in a workout, knowing everything you need is within steps – or a free trolley ride – from home.

The lifestyle.

It’s going for a bike ride, catching a movie or hitting the lanes with the kids after school. It’s taking the pooch to the dog park or your favorite pet-friendly patio. It’s late-night music and cocktails with friends old and new. It’s skipping the traffic and ditching the commute to take advantage of unpredictable fun!
