Neighborhood

Located directly west of downtown Knoxville and north of the University of Tennessee, Fort Sanders is a haven for college students and recent grads. Fort Sanders is named after a Civil War Union bastion that once stood near the center of town, and the neighborhood’s history runs deep. The Fort Sanders Historic District is filled with original Victorian-era houses and buildings, many named on the National Register of Historic Places. Many others are either rented out or have been converted into apartments to fit the growing renter population in the neighborhood.

The Tennessee River runs south of Fort Sanders with neighboring community parks, large grocery stores, and popular bars. Bus stops are conveniently located around the neighborhood for quick and easy public transportation. In what isn’t taken up by apartments or historical homes, you’ll find an expansive hospital and many doctors’ offices in town.

They have just installed new stoves, refrigerators, and dishwashers, which is nice. However there is no in-unit laundry. They have raised the price of my unit each year since living here, and they are just now making updates.

I just moved into Highland Terrace and so far I’ve had a great experience. The apartment was very clean and in good shape when I arrived, with only a few minor things that needed attention. It is a little smaller than it looked in the pictures, but nothing that feels cramped. The kitchen doesn’t come with a microwave and there isn’t a garbage disposal, but the overall setup is still really nice. The apartment itself feels modern and comfortable. The location is definitely one of the best parts—super convenient for the price. So far, I’d recommend Highland Terrace to college students looking for a clean, affordable apartment while supporting themselves.

Lot of frat guys so as a girl it’s nerve wracking but has been going smoothly so far. The apartment was a lot nicer than I expected with the new floors, every time a guest has come over they are shocked by the quality combined with relatively cheap (for campus) rent. Would renew this lease MUCH faster than I’d get an overpriced low quality Cumberland apartment

Decent experience overall. Great location near UT campus and responsive, professional staff. However, the 1-bed unit feels small for the rent. Floors squeak, blinds lack privacy, and poor insulation drives up KUB bills; mine hit $150 in winter. Water bills are high too, since usage is charged across the complex. Recent policy changes are disappointing. The security deposit doubled (from one to two months), and prorated rent for mid-month move-ins has been removed. Even if you move in on the 16th, you’re charged for the full month, and early move-in is denied due to a 2-week cleaning period. This feels unfair; you pay for time you can’t use. I had recommended this place before, but after these changes, many students I know chose other options.

My apartment is incredibly overpriced in respect to the entire experience of living there.

Pretty loud, but a really good Price on rent and utilities aren't too expensive either. The people at the office are super friendly and are always willing to help me out when I need it. I wish I didn't have to pay for laundry and I wish I didn't have to call maintenance as much as I do.

Great apartments on a budget! Very roomy and comfy for the price. Perfect for the college experience. I currently live in a 1 bedroom in Highland 4, and we're very happy with the experience and the location.

I wish there was in unit laundry! The kitchens were "updated", the cabinets were painted, but they simply painted over the broken cabinets. However it is a great location!

It's good. Good distance from campus and downtown life. Everything is walkable. Some amenities are eh. Currently 3 of our washers are broken and it's pretty expensive to wash laundry

Terrible amenities, unaware and selfish staff, constantly putting things that’s are broken/wrong on the residents rather than taking care of the problems. Pee smelling, roach infested laundry rooms with only a 1/4 of the washers and dryers working (and “working” is a very loose term). I could go on and on but I’ll just end it will that I will never recommend this complex or leasing office to ANYONE. It will be the first one I tell everyone not to look into.

The staff is helpful and friendly. Sierra, Brantley, and Stephanie and all the others are cheerful and wave at you when they see you at a distance. Free food and beer events are held every once in a while to cheer up the tenants. The maintenance crew is helpful and they are friendly, too! And I like the different kind of coffee and snacks they provide at the office. (Complimentary, of course)
