About Knox High Apartments
There’s no place quite like it! Knox High Apartments is a hidden gem — and the people who live here know it. THE BUILDING This is a genuine 1911 schoolhouse on the National Register of Historic Places — not a building that looks historic, but one that actually is. Patricia Neal, John Cullum, and James Agee all studied here. In 2015, local firm Dover Signature Properties undertook a careful restoration, turning the old classrooms into 85 apartments while keeping everything that makes the building worth caring about. What that looks like day-to-day: soaring ceilings, original architectural details, and enormous windows that fill every room with natural light. Every unit has a completely unique floor plan — because no two classrooms were the same. Studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms. Part of the fun of touring is finding the one that feels like it was made for you. WHAT’S INCLUDED Utilities are included in your rent — all of them. You handle your own internet, and that’s it. One number, no surprises. For anyone moving to a new city, that simplicity is genuinely worth something. Almost every unit has in-unit laundry. There’s an elevator, a gym, and a rooftop deck with a grill and seating — one of the building’s best-kept secrets, especially in the evenings. The pool room has a pool table and electronic darts. There’s a dog courtyard, a community laundry room, and a Pepsi vending machine for when you need one at midnight. Trash pickup runs three times a week. Free off-street parking wraps all four sides of the building, with paid parking available if you want a guaranteed spot. Pets are welcome. Renters insurance is required — easy to set up, and worth having. THE NEIGHBORHOOD Knox High sits on the corner of Central Street and E. Fifth Avenue — one of the most walkable pockets in Knoxville. Walk out the front door on a Friday evening with no particular plan, and you’ll end up somewhere guaranteed to make you hoppy. Xul Beer is steps away — an award-winning microbrewery in a beautifully converted car showroom, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a rotating lineup of IPAs, sours, and pastry stouts. Crafty B Brewery has been a neighborhood staple since 2015: small-batch, unpretentious, with a pet-friendly patio and the kind of regulars who’ve been coming for years. Next Level Brewing is a short walk in the other direction — trivia nights, rotating food trucks, and beer made with locally-sourced ingredients. Not a beer drinker? Barrelhouse by Gypsy Circus is one of only five wild cider barrelhouses in the country — pouring craft ciders, artisan meads, and over 60 East Tennessee made beverages, all walkable. Mother Bar is a cozy, plant-filled cocktail and wine bar with a bottle shop attached. The kind of place that works on a first date and a hard day in equal measure. French Fried Vintage is a woman-owned true vintage shop at 7 Emory Place — hand picked, well-organized, spanning every era. The Bark is a dog park and bar in one: daycare during the day, beer garden after work. The Wild Side is a creative, welcoming hair salon just down the street that fits the neighborhood perfectly. For dinner, A Dopo Sourdough Pizza does wood-fired Neapolitan pies on a sourdough crust that have landed on national best-pizza lists. Reservations go fast. Down the street, Old City has live music, craft cocktails, a working whiskey distillery, great coffee, and the kind of energy that makes Knoxville feel like exactly the right-sized city. All of this is walkable. You don’t need a car to have a full life here — though you’ll have no trouble finding parking if you do. NEW TO KNOXVILLE? HERE’S YOUR CHEAT SHEET. The practical stuff — good to know before you arrive.

From the beauty of the Tennessee River to the fun-filled Market Square, Downtown Knoxville is a neighborhood in motion. Those who might want to see it all (or just take an amazing selfie) head to the iconic Sunsphere for a 360-degree panorama of downtown, the river, and (on a clear day), the Smoky Mountains. The Sunsphere, which resembles a golden disco ball on stilts, was built for the 1982 World’s Fair and stands 266 feet tall.
But as impressive as the Sunsphere may be, it’s just the beginning of Downtown Knoxville’s not-so-hidden treasures. Other amazing destinations include the historic Blount Mansion, the Bijou Theater, Old City Hall, and the James White Fort. For those who enjoy a little shopping and dining with their historic destinations, Market Square, Old City, and Gay Street are sure to be a hit.
Downtown Knoxville is home to the University of Tennessee, Zoo Knoxville, and boat cruises on the Tennessee River.
