Knoxville Neighborhood of the Week: Whittington Creek

This week Neighborhood of the Week heads way back out to west Knoxville to revisit a not so little 300 acre community off of Northshore Drive called Whittington Creek.

Much like Gettysvue, Whittington Creek is as much a lifestyle choice as it is a place to live. Billed by the developers as an “upscale living community,” the subdivision itself consists of eight separate neighborhoods, each with its own name and private entrance.

The community as a whole prides itself on being very walkable, and all of the neighborhood’s recreational amenties, including Olympic size pool, tennis courts, volleyball courts, playground and clubhouse, are easily accessible via Whittington Creek’s numerous sidewalks.

The first homes were built in the 1990s, but construction has been steadily continuous since then, and there are still lots available for building. Homes tend toward the traditional and most are brick, stone, stucco or a combination of the three.

Whittington Creek is easily accessible via nearby I-140 or Northshore Drive.

So if you’re looking for an upscale neighborhood with lots of amenities that is convenient to the Pellissippi Parkway in West Knoxville, Whittington Creek might be a good place to call home.

All Neighborhood of the Week pictures are provided by Robert Stockdale, photographer extraordinaire. You can check out more of Robert’s work at his website.
