Welcome back to my new semi-regular series, Price Range.  In the first installment of the series, we started at the very bottom of the pricing spectrum and looked at how much house you can get for less than $50,000 in K-Town. The short answer for those of you who missed it: not much.

In this edition, we’ll bump up our budget just a bit and look at what kinds of homes are on the market between $50,000 and $75,000 in Knoxville. As I write this, there are 161 homes for sale in that price range in Knox County. Their average square footage is 1094 and they have an average of 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.

Here’s a look at some homes currently on the market in that range in North, South, East and West Knox County. Enjoy!
