Find out just what kind of friendly Knoxville is:
Wallet Friendly
It’s not often that you want to move to a below average city, but when we’re talking about cost of living…well, that’s another story!

And did we mention, NO state income tax!?
Family Friendly

Some of the best kid friendly vacay spots are just down the road – Dollywood, Gatlinburg, and indoor water parks, Oh My! To top it all off, Knoxville’s schools rank higher on diversity scales than the rest of TN (by a good bit!) and you’ll have a number of educational options for your kids in both public and private schools.
Adventure Friendly

Outdoors, you’ll find an abundance of hiking, climbing, paddling, skiing and even just bird watching and sightseeing nearby. If your adventurous streak leans a little more towards air conditioning, you’ll find nightlife in the Old City or Market Square and craft beer fueled daylife on the Knoxville Ale Trail. Shopping? Restaurants? And Arts? Check, check, and check. Choose your own adventure!
