Knoxville Tennessee COMPLETE Tour 2023 | Living In Knoxville TN | Knoxville TN Real Estate

[@calloway1972]

My family has lived in the area for .. oh .. about 200 years. I live about 1/2 mile north of downtown in old north knoxville with my family of 5. West Town Mall is rather atypical I would say because it's damn near 50 years old and looks brand new. The problem with this video is that it covers the downtown area and then jumps directly to the suburbs without mentioning the extensive investment that has gone into some of the older neighborhoods surrounding downtown. Also, I'd like to mention this to anyone looking to move to knoxville. Don't come as a missionary. We aren't interested in hearing what is going on in Atlanta, New York .. hell, most of us regard Nashville as an alien entity. East Tennessee has its own branch of rugged individualism and we'd like to keep it that way.

[@merrileeleonard6372]

There's so much vacant land all over Tennessee where people could live spread-out, but certainly Knoxville isn't a bad choice as it appears on this video. Appreciate it Forest. Thanks for the tour. be blessed. sep2023

Thanks for watching!

[@lakeseminole]

First thing I noticed was the calmness, not tons of people milling around. I also like the oh, old brownstone buildings. I don't care for cities, yet this is very attractive to me.

[@alfredmaryinteriordesign7397]

It's exciting that they are developing along the riverfront and that they are bringing the baseball Stadium to downtown Knoxville. Market Square in downtown Knoxville has wonderful restaurants, like Tupelo Honey, Cafe 4, Emilia and Ruby Sunshine. It's such a nice area for couples on a date or for families to spend an afternoon or evening. The Mast General Store on Gay Street is a big store with a small town feel and has a Mayberry-type vibe. We love Knoxville, thanks for the full tour Forest, you gave us lots of great information here for future buyers wishing to make a permanent home in Knoxville.

[@mf-db6nm]

One of the best Knoxville videos I’ve seen. The 3 top uncertainties I have are crime/homelessness trends, air quality, and allergies. Is crime and homelessness increasing and are the police well funded and supported? The lung association ranks Knoxville 25th worst air quality likely because pollutants are trapped in the valley. And is the allergy season long and severe and are there any areas maybe higher in elevation like Greenville or Johnson City or closer where you can escape to avoid some of these issues? I live near an airport similar to Knoxville’s and yeah flights are a little more expensive and usually have a connecting flight in a bigger city but I get to the airport only 1 hour before the flight, pay hardly anything for parking, and am through the gates in 20 minutes no hassle, it’s amazing especially with a family.

[@livingintennesseeteam]

Thanks for watching! The police are well funded and supported. The homelessness is mostly concentrated around the homeless shelter next to downtown. The allergy season is about half the year for a lot of people, but is usually well controlled with medication. As far as I'm aware, the allergy season is about the same in most of east TN. Thanks again for watching and feel free to reach out if you want to talk more details about all this. 865-850-2327

[@mf-db6nm]

@@livingintennesseeteam I will, thank you.

[@mommyface2675]

I’m from New York I just stayed in Knoxville for 10 days I absolutely loved it the allergies we’re not worried about it because in Long Island the allergies are insane so actually when me and my family went to Knoxville in August, allergies were great. We felt like the air was so clean compared to Long Island in New York and I’m in the suburbs in Long Island, but the allergies are crazy out here, I love Farragut that’s where I want to be. The only thing I don’t like is I read on they have a lot of snakes in Tennessee. I’m afraid of those and as for driving in Long Island even though we do have public transportation it takes forever so you really need a car here anyway, I haven’t taken the bus in 20 years, but we do have trains. Do you have trains there are you don’t even have trains?

[@livingintennesseeteam]

Hey thanks for the input about allergies. That's very insightful. We do have some snakes in Tennessee, although it is pretty uncommon to see them anywhere around town. I've only come across them a handful of times in the past 30 years. We do not have trains. Buses are the only public transportation.@@mommyface2675

[@calloway1972]

My family has been in the area for 200 years lol. Crime isn't really a concern here. I live about 1/2 mile north of downtown. He's right in that Knoxville has a very concentrated homeless population. Literally .. they all seem to be on the same block on broadway. You don't see many homeless around the rest of the city tbh.

[@DizzySpider99]

Really great video with wealth of research and knowledge

[@livingintennesseeteam]

I hope my best friend Sam Harward in west Knoxville (Oak Ridge) is okay ✅ after the really bad hurricane 🌀 hit 2 days ago.

[@illgazillion]

You know, you don’t ‘need’ to put a building everywhere. The coolest thing they could do about the river is have free, 2-4 hr docking so boaters can enjoy shopping and eating.

[@CharliePrice.]

Great video. We are moving in a few years to Knoxville! My question is about south knox, is it being revitalized? We were there on vacation a few weeks ago and our family there told us south knox might be the new up and coming area the city is putting effort into?

[@livingintennesseeteam]

Thanks for watching! Yes South Knox is definitly one of the up and coming areas. The area known as the South Waterfront has seen tremendous growth in the last couple years, both with resturants, breweries, and coffee shops, as well as residential developement.

[@mckennapeckenpaugh6407]

Hi! I am looking in to moving to Knoxville next Summer. I can't drive. Do you have any recommendations on places that I should look in to living that is somewhat central to a bus station or walkable place in town? Thanx!

Really accurate video except one of the Cons including the airport. I agree, it is a Con now, but they are in the middle of a very large expansion which will be adding more airlines, routes and airport facilities. Please check out it out so on future video's you can include the airport development plan that is currently being implemented.

[@livingintennesseeteam]

Thanks for bringing this up!

[@PraveenSrJ01]

Living near an airport like I do is extremely noisy

[@HisCubanMami]

Knoxville is ok. I've lived here for 15yrs and in the last 5 years, it has gotten so overpopulated that housing is a problem. As a result, the new builds are thrown up, extremely overpriced and the quality is not what it should be & the traffic downtown is horrendous. Not to mention the cost of living has tripled since 2006 when I moved up here. Not to mention that Knox County Schools are overcrowded. If you have a student who needs more 1 on 1 attention or a smaller student to teacher ratio, don't bother enrolling them. They will be better off going to K12. They will fall through the cracks otherwise. I promise, there are so many other cities to move to, people need to explore those as well prior to making the final decision to move here.

[@livzeppelin3331]

This sounds like every city now. It’s really sad. I had the same thing happen in Florida.

Searching Sequoyah Hills, the cheapest property I see is an empty lot for $260k lol. Where are these "starter homes" you speak of? All off-market?

[@livingintennesseeteam]

Hey! The challenge with Sequoyah Hills is that it's very desireable so properties typically sell quickly when they come on the market. The lowest priced homes are condos. There aren't any for sale right now, but I would be happy to send any to you that come on the market. You can email me at [e-mail] if you want me to send you these.

[@calloway1972]

Sequoyah Hills is one of the most expensive area in town to live lol.

Homelessness and violence is off the charts. The street walkers are everywhere from downtown to Farragut. Stay strapped.

[@livingintennesseeteam]

Hey thanks for watching! Are you local to the area? There is certainly some violence and homelessness in the city. If you compared the charts to other major US cities, you would find that there is less homelessness and violence than many other cities.

[@wendyhutchinson5820]

To say Knoxville isn’t as bad as some other cities simply isn’t good enough. Twenty years ago I could take my young son to Market Square and the Old City on the weekends to go antique shopping and never worry. I wouldn’t think of it now. He’s grown, but I still worry about his safety. It’s so sad. I’m so nostalgic for the way Knoxville was back in the day.

[@chocochipcookie8343]

@@wendyhutchinson5820 I've been researching the rise of alt-right hate groups in TN, seeing it reported on the news programs there as well. Hate groups only find recruits when people feel isolated or disadvantaged; then they turn violence. I hope that isn't happening or it makes a turn-around. The KKK is just one of the ones I'd seen and it's scary.

is the cost of living cheap in Knoxville TN. I am planning to move to Tennessee in Knoxville from Colorado in 2024. I dont like Colorado since its a blue state. I want to move to Tennessee since its a RED state. I am a gay male and im a conservative. I would like to find a place there in 2024.

[@livingintennesseeteam]

The cost of living is considered low primarily due to low taxes. The property taxes are very low and there's no state income tax - there is a sales tax. The cost for a home is about the same as the national average.

Many restaurants, but very expensive. They are taxing people exorbitant price for that baseball field. Property taxes have doubled too. Housing is expensive. Be prepared to pay 300,000 and up for homes that are worth 100,000. Gangs are selling Fetanayl on the streets to the homeless addicts. It literally is a warzone. It used to be a nice city at one time. Lots of cities have a Fetanayl problem, so it seems. Must be coming from Mexico.
