Great Knoxville Apartments for Rent

How can you go wrong with an apartment in Knoxville, a city that rests at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains along the Tennessee River? It?s in a part of the country that traditionally enjoys a temperate climate but still has beautiful, distinct seasons. The natural features of the area alone are enough to provide many outdoor activities for residents, but the fun doesn?t stop there. Knoxville has all the museums, restaurants and shops you?d expect from a city with a population of more than 180,000 people in 2009.

While you?re looking for Knoxville apartments, think about what you?ll want to be close to the most. Maybe you would enjoy living in an apartment in Knoxville?s Old City historic district where you?ll find unique shops, cool coffee houses, art galleries and antique stores. If you?d like a waterfront home, search for Knoxville apartments along the Tennessee River. If you plan to go camping or rafting in the mountains of eastern Tennessee or northern Georgia, consider apartments on the east side of Knoxville.

If you or someone in your family will be attending school at The University of Tennessee in Knoxville, apartments around campus might be your best bet. Of course, if you work on the west side of town, you?ll have to keep your commute in mind. The average one-way commute in Knoxville is 22 minutes, and it will be difficult to live and work in this city without a car.

No matter where your Knoxville apartment is, you?ll be close to restaurants and shops. You can find local businesses and national chain stores either in indoor malls or in outdoor shopping centers throughout the city. And your Knoxville apartment will definitely be near parks and natural settings. There are six parks within 90 miles of Knoxville and many gardens and parks within the city.

Once you get settled into your new apartment, take time to enjoy Knoxville?s many festivals, such as the Dogwood Arts Festival, Sundown in the City (a series of concerts), the Kuumba Festival (an African-American heritage celebration), the Cherokee Heritage Days and many others. There are bars, restaurants and pubs throughout the city, and the nightlife is hot in the historic Old City and Market Square. University of Tennessee students and college sports fans like to hang out at the bars and restaurants on Cumberland Avenue near campus.
