Norwood
Old and new in Norwood
Homes in Norwood generally consist of 1970s-era ranch styles and split levels. A recent increase in newer developments and the fact that many older homes in the neighborhood are updated and renovated means that a walk down Norwood is sure to feature a number of unique characteristics to take in, too. Prices range from $265,000 to $325,000. While the neighborhood appeals to more than just families, part of the charm of Norwood is its “familial” nature. “One of the coolest things about the area is that some of the older houses belonged the grandparents and parents of the current residents,” says Cruze. “And that makes it a great melting pot because you have people who have lived there forever mixing with the newer folks.”

Head to Knoxville or stay close
Residents have their choice of heading further into the neighborhood or cruising to downtown Knoxville for an assortment of dining and shopping options. “It’s a really walkable, really active community,” says Cruze. “You can go for a run in the park and then walk over to the breweries to meet up with friends.” Those looking for some classic Mexican American fare will find it at nearby Monterrey Mexican Restaurant, known for its best-in-town cheese dip and margaritas. And just like so much else in the area, the restaurant is owned by a local family that’s been in the area for years. Nearby Powell Shopping District has developed rapidly in recent years, making it a great spot for chain retailers and restaurants too.

Highly rated school district
Students in Norwood can begin their education at Norwood Elementary School, before moving on to Gresham Middle School and finishing up at Powell High School, featuring Niche grades of B-minus, B, and C-plus, respectively.Community shines
Community is a genuine part of life in Norwood, and that extends to the amenities it has to offer. One of the area’s more notable features is the Norwood Heights Swim & Recreation Club, a members-only pool that anyone in Knoxville can become a member of—not just those who live in the neighborhood. After a swim, Norwood residents can walk the tree-lined sidewalks over to Victor Ashe Park. The park is another staple of the area that’s served its residents for generations, and features trails, a dog park, athletic fields, and areas for grilling out.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
