Older subdivision (oldest on Ebenezer, I believe), but the yards are great. We have room to garden and still can kick the kids outside without worry. Neighbors are nice and Pizza Kitchen and Moe's are only a short way away. Would still like to see more walking possibilities, instead of being required to drive everywhere. sorry that I missed the deadline. I love our west knox ‘hood, Farmington.

I reckon I must be the only person that lives out in the county that has an internet connection. I've already commented over on Katie's site but, the thing I love about my "hood" is the peaceful country living. Rural farmlands, barns, silos, mountain views, train tracks etc... My neighbors are quite and don't ever bother me. The heaviest traffic we see is during hay cutting season when tractors are hauling bales to the barn. Folks still wave at you in passing and the worst crime we see is when someone trespasses to leave a bag of vegetables on your doorstep. I should probably stop boasting about my neighborhood though because too many outsiders are already moving in and destroying the natural beauty of the land. So, I take back everything that I said. It sucks here, stay out! Well, I missed the July 25 cut-off, but oh well… I reckon I must be the only person that lives out in the county that has an internet connection.

I have lived just at the edge of Farragut (off Lovell, just north of the interstate), then off Bob Kirby in Churchill Downs ... both areas are great - quiet, country-like neighborhoods but close to everything you need. For the last year though, I lived in an apartment in the Fox Lonas and Park Village area. Man, this area has gone downhill in recent years. Drug dealers, illegal immigrants, and ladies of the night are interspersed with young blue-collar families, retirees and single professionals. There was a car-jacking right in front of my apartment a few months ago - mere feet from where my car was parked at the time. This is NOT Warren House, BTW. I am out of there now, and out of Knoxville entirely. Not far ... out in the peaceful, rural north Sevier county town of Kodak. God's country here ... For the most part, I love west Knoxville.

Anyone can join the dog/baby walkers and be a part of the evening social scene that happens between 6:30 and 8:30 pm. Our dogwood lined boulevards and historic homes make the area quite unique. We are a short trip away from downtown/ Market Square or the new Harvest Park/East Town Mall. Our yahoo group boast a membership of almost 160 members that create a great "community" within an community" (full disclosure= I am the moderator! because I love North Hills!). We watch out for each other online and in person. Eric, I agree that North Hills is a special place.

People here don't watch their dogs at all. I'm not sure why these people have dogs at all if they just let them run around and bark at people and chase cars. I hate when other people's dogs get in my yard. Probably the dame people that think dogs are like kids. I actually live in Northshore Woods. People here don’t watch their dogs at all.

Woodland Acres is a tiny little cluster of small 1950s - 60s era homes on large, natural, wooded lots. The neighborhood is close knit with everyone keeping a close eye on the neighborhood children who roam as freely as the wagging dogs.
