This week Neighborhood of the Week heads south down Alcoa Highway to revisit one of my personal favorite Knoxville ‘hoods: Lakemoor Hills.

Just a few miles south of campus off of Alcoa Highway, Lakemoor Hills is sometimes  referred to as  “South Sequoyah” due to its location across the river from Sequoyah Hills.

With over 250 homes, many with lake frontage, lake views, or ample acreage, Lakemoor Hills is definitely a nice place to call home. Most of the homes in the neighborhood were built in the 60s and 70s and include ranchers as well as many contemporary multi-levels, including some Barber McMurray designed homes.

There are also some newer construction homes, most notably on lots with river frontage.

So if you’re looking for something convenient to downtown, UT and Bearden that has beautiful scenery and plenty of room to breathe, Lakemoor Hills might just have it.

Here’s Lakemoor Hills by the numbers -

Since last week’s NOTW was Sequoyah Hills, I thought Lakemoor Hills would be interesting to look at this week. Also known as the “poor man’s Sequoyah” or “Sequoyah South” due to its location across the river from Sequoyah Hills, Lakemoor Hills is a beautiful, established community just off of Alcoa Highway at Maloney Rd. But don’t let the nicknames fool you – with over 250 homes, many with lake frontage, lake views, or ample acreage, Lakemoor Hills is by no means a second class neighborhood.
