This week Neighborhood of the Week heads out east to take a look at a small community with some mighty fine river front views: River Shore Estate.

Located just north of Strawberry Plains Pike on the eastern side of the Holston River (and just south of Holston Hills Country Club), River Shores is not a big neighborhood: it’s made up of just three streets. While it may be small in size, it nevertheless boasts some very nice river frontage homes on it’s main drag, River Shores Drive.

Most homes in River Shore were built in and around the 70s and there are plenty of swingin’ ranchers to prove it. There are also a few more traditional looking fill-in homes built in recent years and homes in the neighborhood in general mostly fall in the 2000-3000 sq ft range. Lots in the neighborhood are definitely on the large side and most are pretty level for this part of the world. Overall, the neighborhood has a fairly secluded feel for being so close to town.

River Shore is a little tucked away off the beaten path, but is easily accessible via John Sevier Highway, Strawberry Plains Pike, and I-40.

So if you’re looking for a change of pace and nice river view on the east side of K-Town, you might give River Shore Estate a closer look.
