Liv­ing in West Hills is good if you’re into retail ther­apy: it’s located less than a mile from West Town Mall and all of it’s sur­round­ing stores, includ­ing Bor­ders, Old Navy, Kohl’s and Bed, Bath and Beyond. For gro­cery shop­ping, try the Food City off of Mor­rel Rd or the Bear­den Kroger on Kingston Pike.

Once you’re done shop­ping, you can go home to play. The West Hills YMCA is located just on the edge of the West Hills neigh­bor­hood on N. Win­ston Rd, within walk­ing dis­tance of many homes. If out­door activ­ity is more your style, The West Hills Park is also located just off of N. Win­ston Rd and includes the 1.9 mile Jean Teague Greenway.

Hun­gry West Hills res­i­dents have no short­age of restau­rant choices. Knoxville main­stays Cop­per Cel­lar and Cap­pu­ci­nos are close by and are always good bets. If you’re in the mood for some­thing with a more inter­na­tional flair, you can try Stir Fry Cafe Tomo Japans­ese Restaurant.
