Parkridge Neighborhood Guide
Where Front Porches Outnumber Garages
🧭Generally defined as the area: roughly bordered by I-40 to the north, Cherry Street to the west, Jessamine Street to the south, and Chilhowee Park to the east.
📌Parkridge is best known for: the rich collection of historic, turn-of-the-century homes—specifically featuring the world's best surviving collection of roughly 30 George Barber-designed houses, diverse Victorian and Craftsman-style architecture that Instagram influencers salivate over.
👕You'll fit in if: you bought a fixer upper and won't shut up about it, and have passes to the nearby Knoxville Botanical Garden and Arboretum.
👍Move here if you want: walkable streets and a porch you'll actually use.
👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: street parking wars during any Chilhowee Park event.
✨The general vibe is: young homeowners playing the long game.
