Top neighborhoods in Knoxville

West Haven

What it’s like to live in West Haven

West Haven offers established homes with larger yards in western Knoxville. Rental properties typically include more outdoor space and square footage than similarly priced options closer to downtown. While the neighborhood provides good access to both West Town Mall shopping and Turkey Creek commercial district, the removed location means longer commutes to downtown Knoxville or UT campus despite the suburban comfort. Perfect for households seeking more living space at moderate rates who don't require frequent downtown access or extensive walkable amenities beyond practical conveniences for everyday needs.

Fountain City

What it’s like to live in Fountain City

Historic charm permeates Fountain City, where 1920s bungalows surrounding Fountain City Park's iconic duck pond create a small-town atmosphere within Knoxville's boundaries. Original plaster walls develop characteristic cracks during summer humidity spikes, requiring regular maintenance and dehumidifiers during the wettest months. The Central Avenue commercial district provides neighborhood essentials, including a beloved pie shop with limited but devoted following. Many properties feature distinctive front porches that foster community connections through impromptu evening gatherings, particularly during firefly season.

Inskip

What it’s like to live in Inskip

First-time homebuyers priced out of trendier districts are discovering rental values in Inskip, where mid-century ranch homes offer significantly more space than downtown Knoxville options. The neighborhood's proximity to both I-640 and I-75 creates quick access to major employment centers without lengthy commutes affecting quality of life. Unlike newer subdivisions with their cookie-cutter aesthetics, these properties feature established landscaping with mature trees providing natural shade during Tennessee's hot summers. The nearby Fountain City Park offers recreation facilities including duck ponds and playground equipment perfect for weekend activities without extensive planning. When considering rental options, properties on Woodland Avenue provide slightly better access to shopping and dining – a distinction worth noting for those seeking maximum convenience within this emerging North Knoxville community.

You can find the lowest-priced apartments in Knoxville by using the cheap apartments filter or you can search by apartments that are offering move-in specials.

You can use the pet-friendly filter to find Knoxville apartments that allow pets.

The answer to this question depends on your household income and a couple of other factors. You can use our Rent Calculator to figure out how much you should spend on rent in Knoxville.

You can use the off-campus housing filters to find apartments near colleges located in or around Knoxville. Some of the colleges and universities in the area include The University of Tennessee-Knoxville, and Tennessee College of Applied Technology-Knoxville.

If you want the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains and the charm of Southern hospitality, Knoxville is the place to find your next apartment rental.

Knoxville’s economic stability, low housing costs and high quality of life brings all the most desirable traits to the financial table, but there’s so much more to the city than the scenery and it’s token wallet-friendly nature. Don’t worry, there’s no catch, nor is there a rule that forces you to commit an assortment of painful, yet hilarious stunts, despite it’s name. With that in mind, we humbly ask: What could be better?

Bring Fido Along

Knoxville is the most dog-friendly city in the Southeast, according to Dog Fancy magazine. Most rental places will allow you to have pets for an additional security deposit, which can range from $125 to $200 per pet, and a small monthly pet fee of $10 or $15 per pet. But, be sure to check with the landlord if you’re carrying one of these furry friends in tow.

Neighborhoods

Find Southern Swag With Knoxville's Metro Living

If you like to be the center, you need an apartment rental in downtown Knoxville. Located smack-dab in the middle of the city, the metro area has easy access to other Knoxville areas via Kingston Pike and I-40.

Downtown rentals usually include condos and residential lofts located over retail shops. Trendy renters should look for historic buildings converted into modern high-end digs. The Holston, for example, was a former bank prior to its residential conversion. When you opt for metro living, you'll be within walking distance of quaint stores, local eateries, bars, and many of Knoxville's entertainment options.

While downtown is one of the most expensive areas, you'll find some brag-worthy extras hidden under that price tag. Some luxury rentals south of the river come with private boat docks and slips (And, really, what’s more brag-worthy than aquatic machinery?). Some north-side complexes offer media rooms, wine cellars and door attendants. Living here will give you easy access to all the popular locals you’ve probably heard about before, including Market Square, Mechanicsville and the historic homes in Fourth and Gill.

Residences in East Knoxville

Bordered by the Holston River to the south and east, East Knoxville has lush rolling hills and large old-growth trees. You'll find an eclectic collection of homes from the 1920s through the 1960s and country club living, meaning that awesome golf set might actually get put to use this year. The architectural diversity, which spans post-war ranches and estate homes, has something that will appeal to anyone. The area gives you easily accessible routes to the metro via I-40, I-640, and (In triple-whammy fashion) Asheville Highway, as well.

If you want to enjoy the area without the price tag, consider an apartment rental in the area. You'll find one-bedroom lofts in gated communities in the low $500 range. Expect to find lighted tennis courts, fitness centers and great mountain views, depending on the rental you choose.

Step Into a Fairy Tale in West Knoxville

In West Knoxville, you'll find Forest Heights, an area filled with Tudor-style homes and cottages. Despite the architecture, the odds of being neighbors with Cinderella or Shrek are pretty slim, but you can at least pretend they’re there. As such, the area is considered to be a very friendly section of town. Some renters find the homes to be a bit too cookie cutter, but you can find older homes with some real character if you're willing to spend more.

Neighborhoods like Sequoyah Hills, Forest Heights and West Hills, are aptly named. Don't expect level yards and sidewalks in this neck of the woods (See what we did there?) — some hills are steep. If you want flatter surfaces, continue west to the area around the Knoxville Greenway system. As an added bonus, I-40 and Kingston Pike make this just a hop, skip and a jump from UT.

Escape to Tree-Lined Suburbia in North Knoxville

The trees are not pit stops for pets when you're in North Knoxville. That's due in part to the whole “trees lining the medians along main thoroughfares” thing. Areas such as North Hills Boulevard are guilty of such planning, but we’re hoping your furry friends (assuming you have some in tow) will get along just fine when it comes to claiming territory via waste dispersal. While the area has some hills here or there, you'll find level ground at places like the North Hills Greenway or Park. The neighborhoods have a wide range of just about as many styles of homes and apartment buildings.

You can find newly built single-family rental homes or keep your costs down with affordable apartments. The area features single-living apartment options that come with extras like walk-up attic space and patio yards. Other options include townhomes and garden homes.

Affordability Reigns in South Knoxville

The natural beauty of South Knoxville far outweighs the character of the area's homes. The ticky-tacky houses are mostly single-story ranches and cottages, while apartment complexes tend to favor brick construction and neutral colors. Still, you'll get wooded areas and residential neighborhoods at affordable prices.

The location will put you near Lakeside Park and other outdoor recreational areas, where you can fish and walk. That's provided the weather and the air quality cooperate. Night owls will love the area too, with its close proximity to a 160-acre wildlife sanctuary. That’s right, literal owls will love it around here.

Finding the Perfect Knoxville Pad

Summer is a great time to look for a rental in Knoxville. Most leases will be 12 months long. Avoid trying to find a place around August and September, when there's an increase of competition and wait times.

Whether you want stunning single-family estates or trendy lofts, Knoxville has just the apartment rental you need. What are you waiting for? Get out there and get hunting!
