Why Powell Is a Great Place to Live
Powell has grown quickly over the last decade thanks to easy interstate access and more affordable land than West Knoxville or Farragut. New subdivisions sit alongside older established streets, and the area still has a small-town feel with local restaurants and shops along Emory Road. It is a strong fit for buyers who want newer construction, more square footage, or simply more house for the budget.
