Take a quick drive through downtown Knoxville and you’ll see that it has a small town feel with all the amenities of a large city. An ever-increasing population is finding it to be the ideal place to retire! If you or a loved one are considering one of our Parkview Senior Living communities, you will be thrilled with everything else the Knoxville area has to offer:
Low Cost of Living
It’s undeniable that Knoxville is appealing for its low cost of living. Forbes reports that it is about 4-percent lower than the national average, so residents have more money for everyday expenses. No income tax and low property taxes are making it a top contender in retirement locations.
Nature and Climate
Knoxville is breathtaking! Rolling hills, lakes, rivers, strategically located between the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountain ranges, the city attracts nature lovers and history buffs alike. Offering four distinct seasons, Knoxville is a town with very warm southern summers, but not extreme heat and humidity like retirees battle in the deep south. This allows residents endless hiking, biking, or simply breathing in the fresh mountain air. With a unique balance of urban life and nature, parks like Ijams Nature Center offer a delightful respite even within the city limits.
Senior Activities
Whether exploring housing options or researching a recently diagnosed illness, Knox County’s Office on Aging provides seniors with a network of help with issues pertinent to seniors. Employees are available to provide the “village” all citizens need. In addition, Senior Centers exist throughout the Knoxville area, offering services from craft classes to educational opportunities.
