Walkable Knoxville neighborhood with a family-friendly dynamic

"The streets are lined with sidewalks, so you see tons people walking up and down the sidewalks and children out in the yard playing at any given time," Scates says. The neighborhood also benefits from access to shopping and dining in Fountain City to the north and downtown Knoxville to the south, with an easy commute to either on Broadway.

Renovated bungalows and minimal traditionals
