4+ Bedroom Family Homes for Sale in Knoxville, TN Under $775K
West Knoxville stretches from Cedar Bluff and the Kingston Pike corridor out toward Turkey Creek, the shopping and dining hub along Pellissippi Parkway.

Closer to the Tennessee River, Ijams Nature Center offers trails and paddling just south of downtown. Driving times matter here. Downtown Knoxville is roughly 20 to 25 minutes from Turkey Creek on I-40, and the University of Tennessee campus sits just across the river from the core.

South of the river, the Fort Sanders area draws buyers who want to live near the University of Tennessee campus. Downtown Knoxville is a short drive from most of these neighborhoods, with the Tennessee River running through the city and the Gay Street corridor at its center. Ijams Nature Center, a preserve of more than 200 acres on the river's south shore, gives residents trails and paddling access close to home.
