Wildlife trails and planetarium shows at Bays Mountain Park

The 3,750-acre park includes a mountain lake, wildlife exhibits and hiking trails, while the planetarium offers shows focusing on the night sky and constellations. “You can go on a boat tour on the lake, and the rangers will tell you about the animals that pop up throughout the park,” says Dianne Corey, a Realtor with Keller Williams Kingsport. Meanwhile, the Kingsport Aquatic Center is 3 miles from the neighborhood, with indoor and outdoor pools, waterslides and a lazy river.

More shopping options are available in Kingsport or further south in Johnson City. “There aren’t a ton of restaurants or nightlife options to choose from in Kingsport,” Corey says, “but people don’t mind driving the 25 minutes to Johnson City, where there might be a bit more going on.”

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.
