Knoxville, Tennessee is an incredible city on the Tennessee River and at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. We have the culture and many of the perks of southern larger cities without most of the drawbacks of large metro areas.

We’ve been called "Scruffy City" and "Marble City" and are home to over 20 craft breweries and the 1982 World's Fair. We have a local Ale Trail and countless nearby hiking trails and lakes in the National Park and surrounding counties less than an hour from downtown. We also sport an area five minutes from the city center dubbed the "Urban Wilderness" with many outdoor activities including miles of hiking, biking, a public quarry, river access, and much more.

We have an excellent local public school system and many quality private schools in the city. Our cost of living is significantly lower than the national average, with low property taxes and no state income tax. Knoxville offers numerous cultural events, family-friendly experiences, and is a wonderful place to live.
