Convenience and natural beauty in East Knoxville
Just seven miles east of Downtown Knoxville, Chilhowee Hills offers residents an older neighborhood with an easy commute. “East Knoxville sometimes gets a bit of a bad rap, but Chilhowee Hills is a nice area,” says Haley Van Edom, Realtor at the Van Edom Group at Realty Executives. “It’s close to downtown and it’s an easy drive in for work.” Combined with the beauty of the nearby Dogwood Trail, especially in the spring, Chilhowee Hills’ natural setting and convenience make it a homey neighborhood for many Knoxville families.
Chilhowee Hills features mature trees and homes built between the 1930s and 1950s.

Springtime on the Holston Hills Dogwood Trail
Residents of Chilhowee Hills have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the Appalachian scenery. The beginning of the Holston Hills Dogwood Trail is located on Chilhowee Drive in the neighborhood, and locals can walk alongside the pink markings in the road to view native dogwood trees, azaleas, rock gardens and other landscaped features in the adjacent Holston Hills neighborhood. “The Dogwood Trail is a big thing in the spring, as the trees start to bloom,” Van Edom says. For a playground, kids can scamper around the jungle gym in Thomas “Tank” Strickland Park, in the lot next to the neighborhood’s library branch.
