Home to The University of Tennessee and the corporate headquarters of many
national companies, Knoxville offers excellent public schools, a low cost of
living and no state income tax. Add to those perks, endless outdoor recreation
opportunities, a growing culinary scene, great family entertainment availability
and an active music scene that includes the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. With
more than 100 miles of greenways and bike trails, Knoxville is the outdoor
