From farms to suburbia
Formerly wheat fields and farmland, West Knoxville’s Blue Grass neighborhood offers the benefits of suburban living while still being only minutes away from downtown. This can range from resort-style living near golf courses to fishing and boating on Fort Loudon Lake. The area offers more traditional subdivisions with single-family homes that vary in size and style, with plenty of greenery and yard space for decorations or gardens. The houses are only minutes away from Knox County Schools, with each school earning high marks. “The area is in a convenient location, relatively close to town with good shopping and retail close by,” says Robert Threlkeld, an agent with Keller Williams Signature who has served the Knoxville area for over 12 years.
The Blue Grass neighborhood is located in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Homes in Blue Grass come in many shapes and sizes.

The housing styles are as varied as the communities, with three- to four-bedroom ranch-style or split-level homes with accents of brick and wood going for $300,000 to $450,000. Meanwhile five- and six-bedroom newly constructed homes and mansions can cost between $800,000 and $2 million. Homes in the area typically have large yards and driveways, and many come with attached garages.
