"Ditto Landing is a marina close to the neighborhood, and there's an adjacent picnic area that's popular with folks." The Carol D. Hudson Recreation Area is also nearby, offering athletic fields, a playground, a fishing pier and a public boat ramp onto the river. Starting just southeast of Farley, the Tennessee River Greenway walking and biking path runs south to the waterway and north to Bell Mountain Park, another community space with athletic fields, a playground and its own walking trail. Other community green spaces nearby include Sandhurst Park and Buchanan Park, which both have athletic fields and play areas.Local schools earn a B-plus or higher from Niche

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
