Amherst Ridge or Amherst Drive in Knoxville? (mobile home, neighborhood)

[Rocket Dog]

Hi! Since I don't live in Tennessee (yet!) I'm not sure where this is: Amherst Ridge or Amherst Drive. Does anyone know anything about this area? I'm pretty sure I was told it was in or around Knoxville. Thanks!

I couldn't find anything for Amherst Ridge or Drive, but there is a Amherst Road, an Amherst Ave, and a s/d called Amherst Woods.
Amherst Rd. is kind of a shortcut between Middlebrook Pike and Western Ave (by way of McKamey).

By the way, there is a cool Mom and Pop grocery store that sells inexpensive (and very basic) sandwiches and chili dogs in the back on Old Amherst Rd.

Amherst Ave is east of downtown off James White Parkway.

I'm pretty familiar with Amherst Road area, but not the Amherst Ave area east of Downtown.

I live near Amherst Rd and a good friend lives in Amherst Woods subdivision.. it's a great neighborhood and is zoned for Amherst Elementary School.. my daughter goes there and I work there and it's a great school!
Close to alot of things also.

I remember walking to Jack's on Amherst as a kid to get baseball cards and a coke. Didn't know it was still there or still open.

Amherst Ridge is now the name of Clayton Estates Mobile Home Park. Hope that helps.

I tried to get the famous fried baloney sandwich, but they had just closed for the day!
