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.

This week, Neighborhood of the Week heads south to visit a cozy little neighborhood with its very own swimming pool: Arrowhead.

Located off Maryville Pike, just south of W Gov John Sevier Highway, Arrowhead is a mid-sized 60s and 70s era neighborhood, complete with lots of ranchers, tri-levels and split levels. Homes in Arrowhead, like homes in many of Knoxville’s older neighborhoods,  also tend to sit on ample lots.

The neighborhood has its own pool, complete with swim club (the Arrowhead swim club) where residents can play or even take swimming lessons.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Arrowhead is easily accessible via Alcoa Highway, Maryville Pike and John Sevier Highway. It’s also a fairly easy commute to not only downtown and West Knoxville, but also Maryville, Alcoa and Seymour.

So if you’re looking for a nice sized home in an affordable neighborhood with a pool that’s a little off the beaten path, why not take a closer look at Arrowhead?

This week Neighborhood of the Week heads out to Farragut to revisit a great not-so-little swim and tennis community: Concord Hills.

© 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved. © 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Concord Hills is a large, established community located just off of Concord Road in Farragut and is very convenient to I-40 at either Lovell Road or Campbell Station.

One of the best features of the neighborhood, besides the great homes, large lots, well manicured lawns, and numerous trees, is the community recreation association. This association includes a newly remodeled pool and tennis courts, as well as community swim and tennis teams.

© 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved. © 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Concord Hills also has a very active homeowners association, and their website lists numerous neighborhood activities that take place in the community throughout the year.

© 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved. © 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Most of the homes in Concord Hills were built in the 1970s and 80s and include  a lot of very traditional two stories and ranchers with a smaller number of contemporary style homes sprinkled throughout.

© 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved. © 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

So if you’re looking to live in Farragut and want a very well-kept, conveniently located, established neighborhood with swimming and tennis and a strong sense of community, Concord Hills might just be right up your alley.

This week Neighborhood of the Week stays out west to take a look at a rather nice gated community that’s home to both houses and condos: Plantations Springs.
© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Located just east of Ebenezer on Westland Drive, Plantation Springs is a very nice neighborhood with lots of amenities. In addition to the land’s original manor house which residents can rent out for events, there are two swimming pools, two clubhouses, tennis courts, walking trails, and an exercise room. And of course there is the gate, which is open all day, but closes promptly at 7pm each evening.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Plantation Springs contains both houses and condos, although there are quite a few more condos. It is a fairly new planned community and the style of the condos and homes reflect that, as there is a definite, traditional uniformity present throughout the neighborhood. All residences are built mostly of  brick with some minor stucco and siding accents.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

The neighborhood has two HOAS, one for the homeowners and one for the condos, and all lucky condo owners get to pay up for both.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Plantation Springs is easily accessible via I-40, I-140, Ebenezer Road and Westland Drive.

So if you’re looking for an upscale planned community with a super convenient West Knoxville location, look no further than Plantation Springs.

Knoxville Neighborhood of the Week: Whittington Creek

This week Neighborhood of the Week heads back into Knoxville to a little 300 acre community off of Northshore Drive called Whittington Creek.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Much like Gettysvue, Whittington Creek is as much a lifestyle choice as it is a place to live. Billed by the developers as an “upscale living community,” the subdivision itself consists of eight separate neighborhoods, each with its own name and private entrance.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

The community as a whole prides itself on being very walkable, and all of the neighborhood’s recreational amenties, including Olympic size pool, tennis courts, volleyball courts, playground and clubhouse, are easily accessible via Whittington Creek’s numerous sidewalks.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

The first homes were built in the 1990s, but construction has been steadily continuous since then, and there are still lots available for building. Homes tend toward the traditional and most are brick, stone, stucco or a combination of the three.

Whittington Creek is easily accessible via nearby I-140 or Northshore Drive.

So if you’re looking for an upscale neighborhood with lots of amenities that is convenient to the Pellissippi Parkway in West Knoxville, Whittington Creek might be a good place to call home.

Knoxville Neighborhood of the Week: Riversound

This week Neighborhood of the Week heads back out West to revisit a little lakefront neighborhood called Riversound.

Located just off of Northshore Drive a little over 2 miles west of the Pellissippi, Riversound bills itself as “an exclusive lakefront development with the comfort and atmosphere of family living.”

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

The community sits on 96 acres on the north shore of Fort Loundon Lake and not only are several homes there actually on the water, many homes in Riversound have incredible lake and mountain views. There’s also a community boat dock with some private dock slips available for homeowners. There are, however, not enough for all homeowners, and when a slip goes up for sale, I hear it goes pretty quickly

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Other neighborhood amenities include a 5000 sq ft neighborhood clubhouse, outdoor and indoor swimming pools, and newly resurfaced tennis courts.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Riversound is also located just up the road from quite a few county parks, including “The Cove”, or Concord Park, Admiral Farragut Park and Carl Cowan Park.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

So if you’re looking for an upscale lakefront community that’s convenient to I-640 and Turkey Creek, has it’s own neighborhood pool and tennis courts and is also close to some really nice public parks, Riversound might be a good place to call home.

Note: Even though the condo community “The Breakers” is located within Riversound, I’m only going to focus on the single family homes in this NOTW.

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.

© 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

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.

© 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2008 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

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.

Knoxville Neighborhood of the Week: Wexford at Lake Loudon

This week Neighborhood of the Week takes a trip down Northshore to a neighborhood that’s close to, but not right on, the water: Wexford at Lake Loudon.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Located just across the street from lovely Lake Loudon, Wexford at Lake Loudon is a small neighborhood of upscale homes built mostly in the early to mid 1990s. And while none of the homes in Wexford are lake front, many have very nice lake views.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

Homes in Wexford are on the large side, with the majority being around 3,000 or 4,000 square feet. While some homes are stucco or partial stucco, most are all brick with a very traditional and sometimes slightly colonial architectural style.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

© 2009 Robert Stockdale Photography, All Rights Reserved.

And just because Wexford’s not on the water doesn’t mean its residents can’t enjoy it.In addition to having its own neighborhood pool,  there’s a public boat launch located just across Northshore and both Concord Park and The Cove at Concord Park are both just minutes away. Concord Park has a marina and boat access, while The Cove has canoe & kayak rentals,  lake swimming, two sand volleyball areas, a large playground, and a .7-mile paved walking trail.

So if you’re looking for something upscale that’s as close to the water as you can get without actually being on it, why not look into Wexford at Lake Loudon.

This week Neighborhood of the Week stays on the west side of town to revisit a groovy little neighborhood just north of Kingston Pike with its own pool and tennis club: Gulf Park.

Located just off the west side of Cedar Bluff Road about halway between I-40 and Middlebrook Pike, Gulf Park is cozy, affordable neighborhood that was developed mostly during the late 1960s and early 1970s. And true to the building trends of those decades, there are plenty of split foyers and tri-levels mixed in with the two story and ranch style homes in the community.

Other than it’s close proximity to Cedar Bluff Elementary, one of the nicest things about Gulf Park is the Gulf Park Pool and Tennis Club, which is conveniently located within the subdivision. Membership is open to residents as well as non-residents and does require a annual fee. The club features swimming lessons, a swim team, tennis interclub, and several social events.

Gulf Park is easily accessible via I-40, I-640, Kingston Pike, and Middlebrook Pike.

So if you’re looking for a relatively affordable west Knox home in a friendly community that has easy access to swimming, tennis, shopping and interstates, Gulf Park might be a good place to hang your hat.

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.
