Why Move to Knoxville? It's Just Dang Friendly., FOX™ Moving and Storage, Experienced, Trained Professional Movers

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! While a little higher than rural towns in the East Tennessee region, the cost of living in Knoxville it less than 90% of the national average.  As of June of this year, the median home price in Knoxville was under $200k, making your family dream home oh, so much more attainable than it is in many places! And did we mention, NO state income tax!?

Family Friendly

Speaking of family…if you have kids, a move to Knoxville makes darn good sense! The city is jam-packed with things to do with little ones and many activities are free or inexpensive. 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

No matter what your flavor of adventure is, (even if it’s calmly dining out), Knoxville’s got it. 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!
