Neighborhood with personality near downtown Knoxville
Located just three miles north of downtown, North Knoxville residents enjoy being close to the city's theaters and museums, college football games and upscale dining scene, yet this neighborhood maintains a personality of its own. Residents will find venues for shopping, dining, browsing and creating art, attending a live music show or watching a first-run film. Knoxville continues to invest in the neighborhood, improving pedestrian accessibility along North Central Street in 2019. In 2023, the neighborhood city unveiled a $70 million Public Safety Complex housing the police and fire departments.
Locals explore over a dozen nearby breweries as part of the Knoxville Ale Trail. Stephen Apking owns Hexagon Brewing Company, a North Knoxville establishment since 2017 and the northernmost brewery on the trail. The booming beer scene is just one perk of living in North Knoxville. "I'm an avid cyclist," Apking says, "so I can ride right out of the brewery and go to Sharp's Ridge," a 157-acre park with hiking and biking paths. One of Knoxville's biggest draws is Great Smoky Mountains National Park, just 38 miles south of the neighborhood.

They maintain traditional features such as earthy colors and intricate detailing on the porch beams and gabled roofs. In some areas, the terrain can be hilly, especially near Sharp's Ridge.
