Knoxville Metro Area

Volunteer to live in a Greystar apartment in the Knoxville, TN metro area, and embrace life in the Queen City of the Mountains. Our communities place you near Knoxville’s most popular shopping, dining and entertainment venues all while keeping you close to nature.

Whether you’re seeking the state’s finest ribs at Rocky’s Jamaica Sunrise or something more along the lines of farm-fresh cuisine in the family friendly atmosphere at Backwoods Bistro, the city has something to please every palate. From big-name chains to those unique holes-in-the-wall that everybody loves, Knoxville brings it to the table when it comes to Tennessee flavor.

Knoxville dwellers are lucky enough to have Eastern Tennessee’s premier mall experience right on their doorstep: The West Town Mall. Home to fashion-forward names like Ann Taylor, Cache and Coach, West Town Mall is the one-stop-shop for everything fashionable. It’s not just big-name brands in The Marble City, though. Elle Boutique gives guests the chance to browse through an eclectic selection of unique clothes and special jewelry pieces, as well as a selection of interesting wines.

Cheer on the immensely popular Tennessee Volunteers as they battle opposing teams in all the major college sporting events, from basketball to football. The Vols hail from the University of Tennessee, which is near many of our apartments for rent in Knoxville.

Residents can ride the elevator to the top of the iconic Knoxville Sunsphere for a birds-eye view of the city and surrounding areas through downward-facing windows, all while feasting on delicious American fare at The Icon. At night, this popular attraction transforms into a happening hotspot for local nightlife.

Outdoors enthusiasts simply won’t find a better place to live than Knoxville, as the city is conveniently near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Known as the gateway to this mountain playground, which is the most visited national park in the country, Knoxville is inextricably tied to Tennessee’s endless forests and rambling hiking trails. The Great Smoky Mountains aren’t the only opportunity for exploring the wilderness, however. Residents are also within driving distances of the Davy Crockett National Forest and numerous hiking and biking opportunities.

The Knoxville Zoo, Knoxville Museum of Art and Bijou Theatre are among other venues residents will find themselves visiting on a regular basis.
