Conveniently located within a day's drive to over 2/3 of the US population, the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains form the backdrop to Monroe and McMinn Counties in East Tennessee. Wherever you look, the mountains of the Appalachian range are on the horizon, ushering in majesty in every season. With mountains, rivers, lakes, creeks, farms, horse pastures and forests all around, life is meant to be enjoyed here. It’s the kind of place where you can relish peace and solitude, yet your neighbors are always there when you need them. Live in the countryside, while at just over an hour’s drive, you’re close enough to both Knoxville or Chattanooga to enjoy all the benefits of major shopping, restaurants, concerts and more.
Homes and land in all price ranges available.
Tennessee is one of just seven US states with no state income tax, making it a very desirable state to live in. With a decade of growth under its belt, last year Tennessee showed job growth ahead of the nation at 1.8%, with growth of the state’s GDP at 2.7%. According to U-Haul, Knoxville, TN and the surrounding area is one of the top spots where Americans are relocating as the trend away from big cities continues. East Tennessee has mild weather, but four distinct seasons, all uniquely beautiful. Our average summer highs are 80+ degrees and our winter high temperatures are around 45 degrees. We even have enough snow each winter that the mountains are often draped in a white coat that makes the surrounding mountains shimmer, but often, the spring and fall seasons, with layers of color, makes East Tennessee the beautiful place we love to call "home."
