Borden Village's community park and central location
Borden Village is located east of downtown Kingsport in a suburban pocket of the city. While the neighborhood's residential character is similar to several other areas near the city core, Borden Village is set apart by its community park. The neighborhood attracts first-time homebuyers and families with its central location as well as the sense of community connection that runs through the park. “It’s very centrally located and has a great park with a few tennis courts,” says Mary Glenn Lively, a Realtor with Southern Dwellings who has lived in Kingsport for nearly 20 years. “It’s right in the middle of everything.”
