Knoxville Neighborhood of the Week: Broadacres

This week Neighborhood of the Week heads up to Powell to revisit a really large neighborhood with a very groovy feel: Broadacres.

Located off of W. Emory Rd just east of Clinton Highway, Broadacres was once the site of the Weigel family Broadacre Dairy. The family subdivided its pastureland into more than 900 home sites to create the current neighborhood.

Most of the homes in Broadacres were built in the ’60s and ’70s, so there are more ranchers and split levels than you can shake a stick at. There is also a newer section in the back of the subdivion, with more traditional style homes built in the  ’80s.

Broadacres has not one, but two neighborhood pools that are available for use by all residents.

Broadacres is conveniently located just up the street from Powell High School and is an easy commute into Knoxville via I-75, W Emory or Clinton Highway.

So if you’re looking for something  with a neighborhood pool that’s off that beaten path but that’s still conveniently located and affordable, you might look into Broadacres.

Here’s Broadacres by the numbers -
