Live steps from campus in one of Knoxville's most walkable neighborhoods.
This updated 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment sits on Clinch Avenue in the heart of Fort Sanders, putting you within an easy walk of the University of Tennessee, Cumberland Avenue, and everything downtown Knoxville has to offer. No parking hunt before class. No long commute after a late shift. You are already there.
Inside, the unit has been genuinely updated. Wide wood-look plank flooring runs throughout, so there is no worn carpet to deal with. The kitchen features clean white shaker cabinetry, stone-look countertops, a deep stainless steel sink, and a full appliance package including a refrigerator, range and oven, and an over-the-range microwave. There is real counter and cabinet space here, which is rare at this price point near campus.
The bedroom is bright and comfortable, with a large window, a generous closet, and a ceiling fan with an integrated light. Air conditioning is in place and ready for Knoxville summers. The bathroom is fresh and clean with updated flooring and newly painted walls.
The building itself is a well-maintained four-unit property built in 1910, so you get the character and solid construction of an older Knoxville home without the noise, chaos, and endless waitlists of a student high-rise. Four neighbors, not four hundred. And because this is a small building managed by a local team, when something needs attention, you reach an actual person who answers.
This unit is set up for a student or young professional who wants to be at the center of everything and still come home to somewhere quiet, clean, and genuinely move-in ready.
Units in this building do not sit empty long, and the academic year is about to start. If you want to see it, now is the time to reach out.
