Country living 20 minutes from the city
Named after John Nicholas Gibbs, a German settler whose nearby family-owned farmstead operated for four generations, the Gibbs area of Corryton, Tennessee, is a growing bedroom community about 15 miles northeast of downtown Knoxville that manages to hold on to its country roots. “Gibbs is still pretty rural, and for example, getting a new strip mall is a pretty big deal,” says Laura Michaels, director of operations for the Cooper Team at Keller Williams Realty. “It's popular for people who don’t want to live in the city but still want to be nearby, as it’s about a 20-minute drive downtown."
Car-dependent but not isolated
With public transportation in the area scarce, folks looking to commute into Knoxville are most likely to drive themselves following Highway 331, also known as Tazewell Pike, and while en route, hopping on Interstate 640 and Interstate 275 to avoid traffic lights. An easy commute isn't the only thing that makes people take notice of Gibbs. Its wide-open spaces and low crime index score of one are also checks in the area's pluses column.
Multi-acre properties and new construction subdivisions
Along Tazewell Pike sit a variety of property styles, from farmhouses and bungalows that date back to the 1940s to Colonial Revivals and ranch-style abodes from the 1970s and 1980s. Most Gibbs area homes are set on an acre or more of land, but there are also a few newly constructed subdivisions consisting of modern traditional houses on smaller lots. "There has been more and more development out this way as more land becomes available for sale,” Michaels says. Homes in Gibbs range in size from around 1,000 to 3,600 square feet and in price from $105,000 to $680,000. In this still-rural area, the amount of land that comes with a property is typically the driving factor when it comes to price. For example, a newly-built home in a subdivision usually hits the market in the low to mid-$300,000s, while an older ranch-style property with over two acres can sell in the $400,000s.
Side-by-side elementary, middle and high schools
The area is districted into Knox County Schools, which earns a B-plus rating on Niche. Students attend Gibbs Elementary, Middle and High School, three separate buildings in the same corridor on Tazewell Pike. The elementary and middle schools earn a B from Niche, while the high school receives a C-plus and offers many clubs, extracurricular activities and athletic programs. “The school is a big part of the community," Michaels says. "They have events, musical performances and of course, Friday nights in the fall people love to go to the football games.”
Ruritan Club recreation and Halloween corn maze fun
Gibbs Ruritan Club is a service organization that serves the interests and needs of the Gibbs and Corryton communities. The club puts on numerous events and get-togethers during the year, including the annual Christmas parade. One of its most significant ventures is the recreational sports leagues the group hosts at the park behind its building. Here, you can find five baseball fields, two softball fields, four tennis courts and a football field. There are also picnic shelters and a playground for entertainment before or after a game. The group also maintains the Spence Nicely Bird Sanctuary and Hiking trail, which is more than 40 acres. Hikers can find beautiful views while keeping their eyes on the sky to see various species of birds overhead. Gibbs uses its ruralness to its advantage and has numerous pumpkin patches and corn mazes where Halloween-themed entertainment, like the 13th Hour Haunted Trail, occurs each year. The area also features popular wedding venues with stunning mountain views, like Roberts Farm.
Easy grocery runs and gourmet cake pops
Though residents have to head into Knoxville for serious retail therapy, they can quickly grab weekly groceries at Midway IGA or pick up prescriptions at Walgreens, located in the Gibbs Plaza shopping center. “Gibbs is not a shopping mecca," says Michaels. "But you can find some mom-and-pop shops." For a local bite to eat, there's Don Jose’s Mexican Grill, and for dessert, folks can stop by family-owned Wrenhouse Bakery, where they'll find a seasonal selection of gourmet cookies, cream pies, cupcakes and cake pops.
