Farragut, a gem of East Tennessee

Just 17 miles west of Knoxville, dense city gives way to the rolling hills, spread-out suburban living and thriving community of Farragut. Even though the area can trace its roots back to the 1800s, the town of Farragut was incorporated in the 1980s. As of 2020, the population was nearly 24,000, and that number is only increasing as the area grows increasingly popular. Far away enough from the city to provide a slower pace of living but self-contained with prosperous commercial districts, new housing developments and diverse greenspaces, it's no wonder that Farragut is steadily drawing new residents. "I grew up in Farragut, and the biggest thing people love is the convenience. Within 10 minutes, you're close to anything you'd want – shopping, great parks," says Jenna Bowlus, a Realtor with Homes for Hope Knoxville who works with her mother as a team. "You know you're in Farragut for how beautiful the homes are and, honestly, how clean and safe it feels. The people here work hard on upkeep."

Ranch and craftsman homes are by far the most popular architectural style in Farragut.

Big, bold architecture and waterfront property

From classic Southern-style architecture to waterfront states and contemporary homes on huge lots, Farragut offers a variety of housing options and architectural styles. Farragut mainly has newer development, with the oldest homes – for the most part – only tracing back a few decades. "A majority of neighborhoods have HOAs because of community centers, pools, things like that," Bowlus says. "Some HOAs can get pricier, but I think people appreciate the amenities more than the fees. New neighborhoods are popping up everywhere; not just single-family houses, but condos, townhomes, custom builds." As of 2024, most homes in Farragut are selling between $550,000 and $750,000, nearly double what's typical for Knox County. Due to the rapidly expanding nature of Farragut, price points tend to mingle as a new manor can be constructed right by a ranch home from the 1980s. Typically, the southwest region sees the highest price points, anywhere between $700,000 to $3 million. Meanwhile, the east has lower prices, with three-bedroom detached houses and townhomes.

The ample and diverse greenspaces of Farragut

Within a 16-mile radius, Farragut has five parks, miles of greenway and a large community center. Starting in 2020, the Farragut Parks and Recreation department, alongside other organizations in the city, began developing the Farragut Parks and Recreation 2022-2023 Master Plan document. It serves as a ten-year plan to include miles of greenway extensions, preservation of historical sites and development of the Town Center Green, which will serve as a massive gathering area for events. As it stands, Farragut does a fantastic job of providing accessible greenspace. McFee Park, Farragut's newest park, boasts Knoxville's largest splash pad and several courts and fields for recreational sports. Located about 10 miles from Fort Loudoun Lake and the Tennessee River, boating, fishing and other waterside recreation opportunities abound. The Willow Creek Golf Club and Fox Den Country Club at the center of the area are big draws for golf enthusiasts and serve as social gathering sites. Farragut is also only 32 miles from the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Anchor Park also has several playgrounds available for the kids in Farragut.

Expansive and convenient shopping, dining and fun at Turkey Creek

There are commercial pockets throughout Farragut with significant shopping chains and local businesses, ensuring that no matter where in the area someone is located, they're never more than a ten-minute drive from shopping and dining. Farragut's largest commercial area by far is Turkey Creek, located in the northeast corridor. Stretching down Parkside Drive are big-box stores, restaurants, entertainment centers and numerous retail shops. "It's basically 2 miles of outdoor shops and any kind of food you could ask for. It's huge for Farragut's economy, and people come from nearby neighborhoods to shop here," Bowlus adds.

Shopping abounds at Turkey Creek in Farragut, one of the area's premier shopping destinations.

Year-round events for community gathering

In the spring, the Dogwood Arts Festivals beckons nature lovers and gardening enthusiasts through the area on a tour of the Farragut Dogwood Trail, where residents make sure their gardens and yards are perfectly groomed for visitors to behold blooming flowers and trees. In summer, the Lawn Chair Concert Series brings residents to Founder's Park for live music, and the Dixie Lee Farmers Market teems with the freshest local produce from May through October. A Harvest Jam celebrates the changing leaves with Halloween activities and autumnal festivities. As the winter holidays approach, residents can participate in a Thanksgiving marathon, and Light the Park sparkles with thousands of twinkling light installations through the center of town.

Navigating the Knoxville metro area

Just 17 miles from downtown Knoxville, it's a quick and easy drive to the city, manageable usually within 15 to 20 minutes. Most residents commute by car using Interstate 40. Kingston Pike and Parkside Drive bisect the area running east to west, and Campbell Station Road and Lovell Road are the main arteries running north to south. "At the heart of Farragut, you'll feel the congestion. Traffic has increased because the population is growing, but they're working on road expansion," Bowlus says. Residents also easily catch Interstate 75, which connects to Interstate 40 to the west of town. Turkey Creek Medical Center is off Parkside Drive in the northside, and Farragut is less than 20 miles from McGhee Tyson Airport in Alcoa. As the area is very spread out, it's not considered very walkable or bikeable, and there is minimal public transport.

Overall crime statistics

According to FBI data, Farragut is safer than 62% of cities and towns in the United States, and in Tennessee, only 31% of areas are safer than Farragut. The chance of becoming a victim of violent crime is one in 955, and the chance of property crime is one in 164. The CAP index gives Farragut a two for overall crime, with four being the national average and 10 being the highest.
