Neighborhoods
Roane
County
Roane County is where the mountains start to roll and the lakes start to sprawl. With Watts Bar Lake weaving through its landscape, the area is a magnet for boating, fishing, and sunset views that just hit different. Kingston, Rockwood, and Harriman offer small-town character with deep roots—historic downtowns, old stone buildings, and front porches that see more conversation than screen time. You’re close enough to Knoxville for an easy commute, but far enough to breathe. Roane County isn’t just scenic—it’s grounded, friendly, and full of little surprises if you take the time to look.
Similar Neighborhoods
Laurelwood
Laurelwood is one of those neighborhoods that feels tucked away, even though it’s just minutes from the conveniences of Crossville. Known for its quiet streets and well-kept homes, it offers a peaceful setting with a mix of retirees, families, and long-time locals. There’s a sense of pride here—yards are neat, neighbors wave, and people tend to stay for a while. While it doesn’t have flashy amenities, what makes Laurelwood special is the calm. It’s just a solid, grounded place to call home.
O’Henry Place
O’Henry Place is a small, established neighborhood that offers a quiet, residential feel without being far from town. What sets it apart is its location—tucked just off the main roads, but still within easy reach of shopping, dining, and medical care. Homes here are well-maintained, with tidy lawns and a sense of stability that comes from folks who’ve lived here a while. It’s not a high-traffic area, which makes it especially appealing for those looking for a slower pace and a little extra privacy.
Homestead Place
Homestead Place sits near the historic Homesteads district, originally built as part of a New Deal-era project to help families rebuild during the Great Depression. That legacy of resilience still lingers—in the stonework, the land, and the down-to-earth feel of the area. Homestead Place itself is a small, peaceful neighborhood with wide lots, mature trees, and a mix of classic and newer homes. People move here for space, quiet, and a connection to the land that still feels authentic. It’s not about flash—it’s about good soil, good neighbors, and a slower rhythm that just works.
