Lower home prices and a central location in Highland Park
Highland Park is east of downtown, one of several residential areas with midcentury-era homes. The neighborhood is centrally located, with schools, parks and shopping centers within walking distance. “Highland Park is within walking distance to Dobyns Bennett High School,” says Mary Glenn Lively, a Realtor with Southern Dwellings who has lived in Kingsport for nearly 20 years. “It’s close to the North Eastman Rd shopping and eating areas as well as downtown.” However, lower home prices than nearby neighborhoods are the most significant selling point, helping the area stand out for first-time buyers.
One-story shotgun homes, bungalows, and cottages
Residential blocks line either side of Eastman Road, with 1950s-era homes most common throughout the neighborhood. Styles can vary from shotgun to Craftsman bungalow to Colonial-influenced cottages, and most are one story. While homes needing renovation generally sell from around $40,000 to $100,000, move-in ready houses go between the low $100,000s and $200,000.

The trail runs along Reedy Creek through the city and is a favorite of bikers and runners. “The Greenbelt gets used a ton,” Lively says. “It’s a 10-plus mile biking and walking trail — a great feature in the city.”
Indian Highland Park is a dog-friendly, 6.7-acre park with a walking path, soccer field, and batting cages.
