Burlington, an East Knoxville suburb, is rich in history and community spirit. Officially part of Knoxville since 1917, it features Knoxville’s oldest residential cul-de-sac, once a horse track. The neighborhood is known for its diversity and supportive community, as highlighted by Joe Rickman from the Burlington Branch Library. Burlington offers parks, community centers, and a small commercial area along Asheville Highway with shops like Kroger and Walgreens, as well as local dining favorites such as Lunch House and Buddy’s Bar-B-Q. For nightlife, State Burner’s Motorcycle Club is a friendly bar option. The area is about 6 miles from downtown Knoxville, providing a quiet suburban atmosphere with city amenities nearby. Homes in Burlington typically feature new traditional and ranch-style architecture, with two to three bedrooms, and are more affordable compared to other Knoxville areas. The neighborhood is undergoing development, with older homes being replaced by apartment complexes and senior living facilities. The Burlington Streetscape Project, funded with $2 million, aims to revitalize the commercial district by improving sidewalks and increasing walkability. Public transit is enhanced by Knoxville Area Transit’s Super Stop on Kirkwood Street, and major routes like Interstate 40, Asheville Highway, and Rutledge Pike are easily accessible. McGhee Tyson Airport is about 19 miles away. Burlington features Chilhowee Park & Exposition Center, which spans 80 acres and includes a 3-acre lake, Muse Knoxville children’s science museum, and various event venues. Adjacent to the park is Zoo Knoxville, home to exotic animals, and the Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum, offering walking trails and garden displays.
