Lupton City's Yarn Project roots and what it offers homebuyers today
Initially rising to popularity because of a large thread mill, Lupton City emerged as a planned neighborhood for working-class families. Though the terrain has changed quite a bit with the introduction of maintained parks, commercial businesses and contemporary homes, it still manages to keep the original vintage charm. "Lupton City was founded in 1920 – back in the old days, it was the site of the 'Yarn Project,' a thread mill that caused a boom in the area," says Brandi Pearl Thompson, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty. "John T. Lupton, who ran the mill, provided housing and schooling for families who moved there to work. That was really the start."
Mix of midcentury homes and modern builds with Tennessee River views
The original residential surge was between the early to mid-20th century, so you'll see midcentury modern frames, sprawling ranch homes and vintage bungalows peppered around the area. Contemporary properties have cropped up, with simple color schemas and steep gabled roofs combining classic and modern elements. Lupton City is in a prime spot for scenic views, with the Tennessee River winding down around the south end and the rise of mountain ranges visible from residents' front porches.
The median selling price for single-family homes in Lupton City is $280,000, and properties don't stay on the market long, typically selling in just under two weeks after being listed. Smaller homes and town houses start at around $220,000, while larger homes – or vintage properties that have undergone renovation – start around $350,000 and can spike to $550,000.
Lupton City features rows of charming home-styles, such as Bungalows.
One of the most popular architectural styles found in Lupton City is Ranch homes.

Just across the street is the Champions Club Tennis Complex, which has multiple tennis courts for casual rallying and tennis lessons. It's cornered at the south fields of the Lupton City Golf Club. "Dupont Park is a cool spot, it's the best place if you love disc golfing. If you're in Tennessee, disc golfing is a pretty big thing," says Evan Barron, a Realtor with eXp Realty. The south of Lupton City borders the Tennessee River, so a quick trip across the C.B. Robinson Bridge gets you to the Tennessee Riverpark.
