Holston Hills Neighborhood Guide

Where Mid-Century Meets Mountain Views

🧭Generally defined as the area: south of Holston River between Holston Hills Road and Cherokee Boulevard, stretching from the golf course to Governor John Sevier Highway.

📌Holston Hills is best known for: the country club and mid century homes with river views, wide lots, mature trees, and a peaceful layout designed nearly a century ago that always puts the sun behind you whether you’re driving to or from work.

👕You can spot a Holston Hills local by: their golf cart in the driveway and UT donor plates.

👍Locals live here because: you get the space and schools without a Farragut commute.

👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: zero walkability outside the golf course and your neighbors asking which church you attend.

The vibe around Holston Hills is: suburban comfort with old Knoxville expectations.
