Sources for Knoxville area demographics, schools data, and neighborhoods.
If you’re home shopping in or moving to the Knoxville, Tennessee area information about the areas you’re looking in, what sort of schools do they have, crime rates, etc., are probably a high priority item for you.
Here’s a few local and national websites that can help supply you with useful home buying information.
My website, www.KnoxvilleHomeCenter.com for sale in the greater Knoxville area including single family homes, condos, and land for sale.

Here’s a link to a local news story about the issue and some links to proposed rezoning maps.
And of course there are many other sources. In fact there are so many sources and so much information available it’s very easy to become confused and have difficulty interpreting it.
