Knoxville Neighborhood of the Week: Fox Den
This week Neighborhood of the Week makes the trek out to Farragut to revisit one of the most swingin’ golf communities in Knox County – Fox Den.
Located just west of Smith Rd off of Kingston Pike, Fox Den is more or less the 70s version of Gettysvue – an upscale golf and country club community that was considered by some back in the day to be the most prestigious neighborhood in west Knox County. It’s still pretty swank, and many folks are still willing to pay for the privilege of calling Fox Den home.
Other than age and location, Fox Den differs from Gettyvue in three key ways: lot sizes (bigger), architectural styles (groovier) and prices (lower). Most of the homes were built in the 70s and 80s, and although some still sport custom features like sunken wet bars and sunken avocado green jacuzzi tubs, most have since been updated to 21st century standards. These remodeled homes go for top dollar, while fixer uppers usually go for much less, making comps a tough thing in Fox Den.
So if golf is your game, but you find the Gettysvue price tags a little hard to swallow, Fox Den might be a great choice for you.
Special thanks to AAKT’s in-house photographer, Robert Stockdale. Without him, NOTW would be just a bunch of boring text. Find out more about Robert’s work here.
