A walkable community close to amenities
Sycamore Shoals derives its name from a set of Watauga River rapids a half-mile north, once an important military site during the Revolutionary War. Today, locals can visit the National Historic Landmark, which is now a state park and educational resource. Beyond the significance of its name, the small suburban community’s location on Elizabethton's eastern side grants short trips to an array of shopping and dining opportunities. Similarly, it is served by well-rated schools, within walking distance of Kiwanis Park and not far from the annual events of the city's downtown district.
Sycamore Shoal residents enjoy close proximity to nature and modern amenities.

Sycamore Shoals State Park is situated just north on the banks of Watauga River. “It’s a great park in the area,” says Katy Bennett, Realtor with Hurd Realty. “They also do war reenactments there as well.” Its Interpretive Museum provides a glimpse into the area’s role in the war and the indigenous people who inhabited the land for centuries prior. The park also hosts regular educational field trips and is home to the Carter Mansion, the oldest frame house in Tennessee.
