Sevierville Tennessee Real Estate: Natural Choice for Relocation / Retirement
Sevierville’s unique mix of small town America and big city amenities make the city an increasingly popular choice for home buyers. Tucked away into the mountains of East Tennessee, this historic area's natural beauty, shopping opportunities, restaurants, and recreational activities attract millions of visitors to the area each year. For Sevierville's permanent residents, the benefits of tourism are many.
Sevierville is located 30 miles from Knoxville near the boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Residents and visitors have long enjoyed the outdoor activities that this location provides; walking trails, horseback riding, river rafting, and fishing are readily available and only minutes from home. Park offerings, such as Cades Cove and Abrams Falls, provide residents with daily access to the type of outings that are usually reserved for vacation! Entertainment comes in many other forms, as well. The area has become internationally known for its live music venues; the famous Dollywood theme park and theater is minutes away; golfing is readily available at the four-star course, Eagle's Landing; and shopping, whether in the many name brand outlets or at the boutique shops that are scattered throughout the area, provides endless variety.
Permanent residents enjoy the benefits of high quality medical care offered by the Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center, part of the Covenant Health System. This facility employs "physicians who specialize in over 20 areas of medicine" and will open a new, state-of-the art medical campus in 2009. For additional medical services, residents are 30 minutes away from the many world-class facilities located in Knoxville. All of this is wrapped in a small-town atmosphere. Low violent crime rates, access to the region's many educational and career opportunities, and friendly neighbors makes Sevierville a truly attractive place to call home.
