North Hills
Knoxville, Tennessee
Nestled in North Knoxville near Old North Knox and Fourth & Gill, North Hills is a hidden gem of a historic neighborhood. It is often referred to by locals as "where my grandparents lived when I was a child." It is known for the majestic trees, eclectic architecture, rolling hills, and beautiful landscaping.
North Hills is defined by its main boulevards: North Hills, Fountain Park, and North Park, which have large, dogwood-lined medians.
The greater North Hills area is bordered by Cecil Avenue to the south, Whittle Springs Road to the west, Washington Pike to the north and Prosser Road to the east. This area includes the Plantation Hills subdivision known for its streets that are named after Civil War battlefields.
North Hills is alive with a great sense of community. Many neighbors are often found mingling with each other while walking their dogs or pushing a child in a stroller, sometimes maneuvering both! The North Hills Garden Club, which was formed in 1935, is still an active and integral part of the neighborhood. You can always find someone tending to their beautiful yards when the weather allows. Neighbors are always ready to thin out some of their well-established plants to share with others. An active Neighborhood Watch program uses the area's Yahoo Group listserv (see 'Contact' section) for special alerts.
