Marble City is commercial and residential neighborhood
Named for the marble workers who made their homes along the Sutherland Avenue corridor and worked in the city’s multiple quarries at the turn of the 19th century, Marble City provides a mix of both urban and suburban living. Homes in the neighborhood can range from older ranch styles that were occupied by quarry and factory workers to newer cottages and ranches along the hilly scenery. Many residences are close to a thriving commercial district with plenty of locally owned eateries, coffee shops and breweries. The neighborhood’s students are served by the established Knox County Schools, many of which are a quick drive from Knoxville’s parks. The multiple bus routes and busy roads allow Marble City quick access to downtown for an assortment of events and opportunities.

Historic and new homes set in the Knoxville hills
Home architecture in Marble City varies widely and includes everything from prefabricated dwellings to bungalows and split-levels. Homes closer to the highway on the eastern side were built around the 1930s on modest, hilly plots of land, with occasional maple trees dappling the homes with shade. Residences get bigger the farther to the west they are and are often set toward the back of larger plots of land to allow for more trees and greenery to decorate the yard. Homes can range from $210,000 for a two- to three-bedroom ranch-style home or bungalow built in the early to mid-1900s, to $800,000 for a four- to five-bedroom newly constructed ranch-style home or cottage.
Marble City has many different home styles available to residents.

Marble City also offers quick access to Interstate 40, which may make the northern border of the area loud, but it also makes it easy for residents to commute to the University of Tennessee or the rest of downtown Knoxville.
