Just wanted to "pick some informed brains" about information regarding areas in east Tennesse - either north or south of Knoxville (what is the major difference between the two?). Relocation there is a great possibility so any infomation regarding the area would be a great help. Here are some questions I hope someone can help answer:
1. What would you consider more affordable, purchasing a lot and building a home or purchasing a home out right?
2. What areas should I look at for purchasing a lot? I would like a "nice" area. Maybe even a gated community with large lots. Good school districts -(I undestand that Blount/Alcoa/Maryville are all good).
3. What areas/neighborhoods do you recommend, if I don't want to be too far or too close to the city. Being close (about 20-25 min.) to hospitals and amenities - shopping/movies, etc.. is important to us.
Your input is greatly appreciated.

East Tennesse - Land or Home
East Tn
I moved to East Tn last year from Ca and am a Real Estate Agent. Have found West Knoxville to be the nicer area. Towns to look at are Farragut, Concord, Northshore and Oak Ridge. They are all with in minutes of downtown Knoxville. I think that Knoxville has more resturants per capita than any city in the US. Farragut has a good schools as does Oak Ridge.
