Crossville is a small city in northeastern Tennessee, about seventy miles west of Knoxville on Interstate 40. Situated on the Cumberland Plateau, the surrounding countryside offers beautiful scenery, with hills and mountains all around—Cumberland Mountain State Park occupies the south side of town, and the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area sits just to the north. The historic Downtown district is packed with beautifully preserved red brick buildings still in active use, from the landmark Palace Theater to the popular Cahoots General Store. The local rental market is full of affordable options to fit any taste, from sensible apartments near the center of town to secluded houses tucked away in the surrounding forests.
