Knoxville’s charming West Hills neighborhood occupies a special space within the city’s development as Knoxville’s first official subdivision. 

In the 1960s, this picturesque community took steps to block commercial development from blighting the beauty of its densely wooded surroundings. The strategy was a resounding success and West Hills’ pristine scenery is still absolutely stunning.

West Hills’ residents enjoy the perfect balance of rural calm and urban convenience. The community is situated less than fifteen minutes away from Downtown Knoxville via I-40 and Middlebrook Pike. Nearby, there are many shops, restaurants, and supermarkets located within West Hills’ immediate vicinity.

 

 

West Hills was first established in the 1950s as a community of ranch houses and many of those charming early homes still stand today. These characteristic West Hills homes have been joined in the years since by an assortment of charming bungalows and beautiful single-family homes.

The most expansive and luxurious West Hills properties are on lots spanning more than an acre. Opulent all-brick ranch houses combine the best in historic charm and modern luxury, featuring beautiful outdoor swimming pools and gloriously flowing open-plan living spaces.

The thick surrounding tree coverage provides all of West Hills’ homes with a real sense of privacy and seclusion.

 

 

West Hills is a wonderful community with a fantastic range of local amenities. The neighborhood’s families enjoy access to excellent public schools. There are open spaces within this wooded community, including the expansive John Bynon Park extending from West Hills Elementary to the community’s YMCA, providing ample space for sports and picnicking. The park also features the 1.9-mile looped Jean Teague Greenway, from which residents can access other trails which extend to more distant areas.

A wide range of shopping options is just on the other side of I-40 from West Hills. Trader Joe’s, Barnes & Noble, Target, and Walmart Supercenter are some of the big-name brand stores within reach of West Hills. There are also a variety of restaurants nearby, and the interstate makes other areas easily accessible.
