Luxury Homes in Knoxville, Tennessee

Knoxville, Tennessee is one of those places that is difficult to leave once you’ve had a taste of the good life. Ask one of the many alumni from the University of Tennessee Knoxville who stayed in town post-graduation; it’s the perfect place to discover luxury homes and lay down roots! 



The city is divided into the downtown area, and from there, North Knoxville, South Knoxville, East Knoxville, and West Knoxville. While there aren’t necessarily that many luxury homes in the downtown area, the Old City and Gay Street offer a nice mix of residential and commercial properties. For those specifically searching for luxury homes in Knoxville, there are a variety of great neighborhoods from which buyers can choose in the four areas outside downtown.



Knoxville’s downtown continues to develop. It’s a great place for residents to take in live music, or visit some of the many attractions, including the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame and Market Square. There are movie theaters, restaurants and bars, and outdoor concert venues. West Knoxville has continued to grow adding a large shopping area Turkey Creek, the largest Kroger Marketplace Grocery ever built, a new Acadamey Sports and soon to come Costco, makes west Knoxville the hottest area and the perfect location for home buyers to search for luxury homes. 



One of the most beautiful areas for buyers interested in gorgeous luxury homes is Bridgemore in Farragut. A great West Knoxville neighborhood for buyers interested in luxury homes to look is Whittington Creek just off Northshore Drive and Pellissippi Parkway. The West Knox and Farragut communites are located just off I-40/I-75. There, residents can leave their luxury homes for the conveniences of retail stores and restaurants nearby.

Many communities offer conveniences near luxury homes such as neighborhood pools, clubhouses, golf, not to mention the ease of access to Knoxville/Farragut Greenway that offers walking, running, and biking paths throughout Knox county.

Once you have pinpointed the luxury homes and communities in Knoxville, Tennessee where you’re interested in purchasing your dream home, I do hope you’ll be in contact. I’d love to help you sort through the variety of luxury homes along with other home options in the area and help you determine which unique area of our city is the best place for you.

Yesterday, my young first time home buyer went to closing. Of course, I was there with him, and everything went smoothly. Chiara Petro has a very happy first time home buyer in Knoxville TN!

There were some pitfalls along the way, and things that tried to get his closing off track, but the team we had put together (from loan officer to the title company, and myself as the puppet master) for him worked tirelessly and seamlessly to get everything done in less than 30 days.

Hi Knoxville Weekenders! Can you believe it's already the weekend? You know what that means, its time for some Weekend Fun, Knoxville Style!

Let's start off with the Healthy Living Expo at the Knoxville Convention Center on Henley St, on Friday and Saturday (1/20-21). Seniors get free admission on Friday. Exhibitors will provide information on such topics as Green Living, Nutrition, Fitness, and, of course, health. And there will even be some free or low cost health checks available. Do check thewebsite to see which those will be.

One of the weekly events I've neglected to add to our list, is Alive After Five presented by the Knoxville Museum of Art. Billed as a casually elegant atmosphere, Alive After Five is always on Friday nights, has a beer & wine bar, music, and delicious food. Did I tell you that parking is free? Do check their website to see who will be playing, each week.

If you want something a little faster, why not attend an Ice Bears game? Our professional hockey team plays at home (Coliseum) Friday night against the Columbus Cottonmouths. The puck drops at 7:30 pm.

Sunday (1/21) UT Men's basketball team plays against UConn at 4 pm.

Of course, as we've been having an unseasonably warm winter so far, you might want to take a ride up to the Smoky's and try a day hike. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have some Weekend Fun, Knoxville Style!
