South Knoxville, fondly nicknamed "SoKno" by locals, is a vibrant and historic district located just south of the Tennessee River from downtown Knoxville. It offers a unique blend of urban energy and outdoor adventure.
What’s New Down South
While South Knoxville has a rich history, it's also experiencing a renaissance, and has become a haven for delicious local restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops. Trendy breweries like Alliance Brewing, Hi-Wire Brewing and Printshop. Local coffee shops like HoneyBee and South Press as well as cozy cafes like Village Bakery. Delectable restaurants like Landing House and South Coast Pizza dot the banks of the Tennessee River in the Sutree Landing area. Local shops, art galleries and eateries in the newly opened Kerns Food Hall also add a distinctive flair.
The Natural Side
South Knoxville is home to the Urban Wilderness, Ijams Nature Center, quarries, river access, and parks. Knoxville, but particularly South Knoxville has recently become a hub for mountain biking enthusiasts. The Appalachian Mountain Bike Club currently maintains over 90 miles of mountain biking trail networks in and around Knoxville, including the Baker Creek Park/Preserve, Knoxville Urban Wilderness and I.C. King Park in south Knoxville.
Ultimately, SoKno is a great place to live for those seeking a community atmosphere, easy access to nature, and a chance to experience the heart of Knoxville's local business scene.
