Burlington Neighborhood Guide
Where Chickens Outnumber Hipsters
🧭Generally defined as the area: stretching from Middlebrook Pike south to Kingston Pike, roughly between Cherokee Boulevard and Sutherland Avenue, bleeding into the West Hills Shop area.
📌Burlington is best known for: mid century ranch homes with carports and magnolia trees, and a unique,19th-century oval-shaped street layout known as Old Speedway Circle, which was originally a horse-racing track.
👕You'll fit in if: you mow your own lawn and wave at neighbors on your way to the Old Knaffl House.
👍Locals live here because: it's walkable to Bearden without paying Bearden prices.
👎The downside to Burlington is: you're close enough to hear I-40 traffic constantly.
✨The overall feel is: affordable suburban calm with sidewalks and city accessibility.
