Knoxville Neighborhood of the Week: Riversound

This week Neighborhood of the Week heads back out West to revisit a little lakefront neighborhood called Riversound.
Located just off of Northshore Drive a little over 2 miles west of the Pellissippi, Riversound bills itself as “an exclusive lakefront development with the comfort and atmosphere of family living.”

The community sits on 96 acres on the north shore of Fort Loundon Lake and not only are several homes there actually on the water, many homes in Riversound have incredible lake and mountain views. There’s also a community boat dock with some private dock slips available for homeowners. There are, however, not enough for all homeowners, and when a slip goes up for sale, I hear it goes pretty quickly

Other neighborhood amenities include a 5000 sq ft neighborhood clubhouse, outdoor and indoor swimming pools, and newly resurfaced tennis courts.

Riversound is also located just up the road from quite a few county parks, including “The Cove”, or Concord Park, Admiral Farragut Park and Carl Cowan Park.

So if you’re looking for an upscale lakefront community that’s convenient to I-640 and Turkey Creek, has it’s own neighborhood pool and tennis courts and is also close to some really nice public parks, Riversound might be a good place to call home.
Note: Even though the condo community “The Breakers” is located within Riversound, I’m only going to focus on the single family homes in this NOTW.

Suzy,
I just wanted to add that additional photos of the RiverSound neighborhood can be found at my neighborhood site: Knoxville’s Neighborhoods. Currently, I have included 8 of the neighborhoods you have blogged about and will be adding others in the near future.
The Breakers, located in RiverSound is not a “Condo Community”. The homes are actually “Villas”.
