A growing city in the Great Smoky Mountains!

City Description

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
enthusiast's dream. Go paddle boarding or kayaking with friends on the Tennessee
River or in one of the many local lakes and quarries, or skip over to south
Knoxville's Urban Wilderness for paved and off-road biking trails. For those
looking for a challenge, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just an hour
away with access to the famous Appalachian Trail! Outdoor activities, however,
are just part of the fun this city offers. Its growing downtown area features
restaurants, shopping, pubs and much more. Stop by the vintage Phoenix Pharmacy
and Fountain for root beer floats or sundaes, go bowling at Maple Hall where you
can enjoy delicious cocktails and appetizers, or eat at one of the many
regionally recognized restaurants. This mid-sized city has much to explore and
offers easy access to other large cities like Chattanooga, Asheville, Nashville,
Atlanta and Lexington.
