Neighborhood of the Week: Sterchi Hills

June 15, 2009

© 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

This week Neighborhood of the Week heads up north to the Powell community to revisit a large, traditional, and fairly new subdivision: Sterchi Hills.

Located just off of I-75 at Callahan Road, Sterchi Hills is a neighborhood of attractive and traditional homes. Most are two stories and ranchers and almost all have brick fronts and vinyl siding sides. Age-wise, they range from about 3-13 years old.

One great perk of living in Sterchi Hills is the community swimming pool, which is open to homeowners and their guests. The neighborhood website has more details on pool use as well as info on neighborhood regulations and community activities.

Sterchi Hills is easily accesible via I-75, Emory Road and Maynardville Highway/Broadway. Depending on traffic, it’s about a 20-25 commute into downtown Knoxville.

So if you’re looking for an affordable newer community with its own swimming pool that is off the beaten path but still within easy commuting distance of Knoxville, Sterchi Hills might be for you.

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

Neighborhood of the Week: Broadacres

March 30, 2009

(0) Comments

This week Neighborhood of the Week heads back up to Powell to really large neighborhood with a very groovy feel: Broadacres.

Located off of W. Emory Rd just east of Clinton Highway, Broadacres was once the site of the Weigel family Broadacre Dairy. The family subdivided its pastureland into more than 900 home sites to create the current neighborhood.

Most of the homes in Broadacres were built in the ’60s and ’70s, so there are more ranchers and split levels than you can shake a stick at. There is also a newer section in the back of the subdivion, with more traditional style homes built in the ’80s.

Broadacres has not one, but two neighborhood pools that are available for use by all residents.

Broadacres is conveniently located just up the street from Powell High School and is an easy commute into Knoxville via I-75, W Emory or Clinton Highway.

So if you’re looking for something with a neighborhood pool that’s off that beaten path but that’s still conveniently located and affordable, you might look into Broadacres.

Here’s Broadacres by the numbers -
