What about union county? (to rent, houses, buy)

[tn_dreamin']

I've looked a little bit into it and it looks like a nice place to live and maynardville is only about 25 miles from knoxville. Plus my sis who just moved to knox said she has talked to a few people that said it's very cheap to live there and not too long of a commute to knoxville. Anybody have any thoughts or knowledge on it?

Wow, that's a beautiful picture, do you have more? And $85,000 for 2.5 acres and a 3 bdr. house? That is awesome. I heard to rent a house is very cheap as well.It sounds ideal for us. Yes, I have 3 kids, one in h.s. , 1 in middle and one in Kind. How are the schools? What's the pop.? Any info. you can give me would be much appreciated! Thanks!

you'll find a lot of info on this site (city-data) as well as these forums if you search for the town name.

I also posted some pics from my trip back in May of the Union County area. They're not "sight-seeing" pictures, but rather, consistent clicks of the camera as we drove around the area.

There's also statistical and demographic data available if you google the words "best places" and search on the site that comes up.

Good luck--

Well, it looks like a beautiful area and that pic of the deer is really neat and that's in your yard? Awesome! Nice people too? Sounds like my kind of place. We're taking a trip in late Feb.-early March to the knox area and will be checking it out as well as other areas, I'm looking forward to seeing all of it! Thanks for the link!
