Is Knoxville getting better or worse?
I grew up here but left for a while. The median home value here is around $214,000, which is actually reasonable. Homes are going for about $214,000 on average. Poverty rate is 13.0%, which is around average. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development
- Strong sense of community
Cons:
- Cold winters
- High property taxes
- Boring for young people
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Far from major airports

Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
