This week Neighborhood of the Week heads down south to revisit a quaint little historic community with more home styles than you can shake a stick at: Lindbergh Forest.

Located off Chapman Highway just a little ways south of downtown, Lindbergh Forest  was once considered a suburb of Knoxville. The oldest part of the neighborhood dates from the 1920s and 30s, but homes continued to be built there throughout the 1940s and 50s.

Not only does Lindbergh Forest boast a wide array of home styles — Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Cape Code, just to name a few — but it also contains two of the city’s only “Lustron” homes

Much like the nearby Island Home, Lindbergh Forest has a pretty low of turnover rate and desirable homes tend to sell fairly quickly when they do come on the market.

Lindbergh Forest is easily accesible via I-40 and Chapman Highway and is very convenient to downtown Knoxville and the UT campus.

So if you’re looking for a historic home on the south side of town you might want to look into Lindbergh Forest.

Thanks to AAKT’s resident photographer, Robert Stockdale for these super shots of  Lindbergh Forest. To learn more about Robert and his work, visit his website.
