Hampton Home for Sale

Hampton, a neighborhood in Johnson City, is characterized by its grid-like streets and historic charm, surrounded by the ridgelines of neighboring mountains. The area features enduring sidewalks, centuries-old churches, and notable landmarks like the Butler Mansion, an Italianate-style home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Housing styles in Hampton's historic district include early 1900s ranch-style homes, Cape Cod, Colonial, and cottage styles, with lot sizes averaging just over a quarter acre. In the more rural parts of the neighborhood, homes sit on larger lots, some spanning over 5 acres. Watauga Lake, a major tourist attraction, is just 4 miles northeast, offering activities like swimming at Shook Branch and fishing at Rat Branch Boat Ramp. Closer to home, residents enjoy the Laurel Fork Trailhead leading to Laurel Falls and the Hampton Watershed Trails for wildlife viewing and mountain biking. The expanding Tweetsie Trail will soon connect the community to Cedar Mountain. Dining options include the locally owned Laurel Fork Restaurant and several chain eateries along U.S. Route 19. Essential shopping is available at Dollar General, Redi Mart Supermarket, and Brown’s Grocery & Hardware, with more extensive options in Downtown Elizabethton.
