Rural living close to resources on Knoxville’s outskirts
Just north of historic downtown Clinton and less than 20 miles from Knoxville, East Clinton is a rural community spread out along the Clinch River Valley. People here can choose to live near the area’s cluster of shopping and dining, or on the outskirts of Clinton, where life is quiet against the backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains. This is a place where rural living requires few sacrifices: highly rated schools and daily necessities are only ever a few miles away. People here are connected, despite the physical distance that separates them, according to Amie Dodson, broker and owner of NextHome Clinch Valley and a nearby resident. “Clinton is very much a ‘Mayberry feel’ town,” Dodson says, referring to the fictional setting of “The Andy Griffith Show.” “There’s a lot of support from the community with kids sports and with the schools. People here are very giving.”

Varied housing styles and plot sizes in East Clinton
East Clinton has homes clustered along State Route 61 and out into a rural landscape awash with oak and cottonwood trees. Some of the area’s Minimal Traditional-style homes date back to 1930s and 40s, though most homes were built in the 1990s and 2000s. These ranch-style builds, Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals are scattered throughout the area. New construction is popping up close to the neighborhood’s commercial strip, where New Traditional homes sit much closer together than in the rural outskirts. Those seeking privacy and room to spread out can find sloping plots of up to 10 acres southeast of Route 61. Otherwise, most people have between a half-acre and a full acre to park recreational vehicles and enjoy uninterrupted stretches of grass. The neighborhood also has a few communities of manufactured homes.
Prices typically range between $200,000 and $500,000, with manufactured homes occupying the lower end. Northwest of Route 61, there are a couple subdivisions of four- and five-bedroom homes where prices can span $650,000 to $800,000. “When you look at purchasing a home on the river versus South Knoxville and Farragut, it’s a big price difference," says Jerri Bottom, a broker with Realty Executives Associates who used to live in the area. "There’s a lot more bang for your buck in Anderson County.”

Fishing, playing ball or golfing within and beyond East Clinton
Nature lovers can spend the day or camp at Norris Dam State Park just 5 miles north of East Clinton. The park has forested hiking trails, a marina with boating access and ranger tours about local nature and Appalachian history. Locals can also easily get out on a tributary of the Clinch River. “The river drew me to Clinton,” Bottom says. “It’s lovely for fishing, and a lot of people have pontoon boats. We had a pontoon boat that we would use to sail from East Clinton over to Melton Lake.”
Within the neighborhood, NAGAF Community Park has a multipurpose field, two red clay baseball diamonds and parking. The name is an acronym for the schools in the area. The Nagaf Roadrunners organization maintains the fields and runs youth sports programming. Lake Gissel is a small watering hole for fishing, and Mountain View Park has covered picnic tables, a playground and open green space for kids and dogs to play.
Tennessee Tee Golf Facility is another place to unwind. The local driving range is open daily.
