It sits as an entry point to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, opening up opportunities for locals and visitors to access beautiful Appalachia and the surrounding outdoors.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Knoxville is home to a rich arts community and hosts tons of festivals throughout the year. Well-attended events like the 17-day Dogwood Arts Festival and the eight-week Knoxville Christmas in the City traditions make us think that this city isn\u2019t slowing down anytime soon.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Read below to see the top 5 family-friendly neighborhoods in Knoxville, truly a growing and charming city.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-forest-heights\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FOREST_HEIGHTS\"><\/span><strong>FOREST HEIGHTS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Forest Heights is full of beautiful, historic homes and is one of our favorite family neighborhoods in the city.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Located just 10 minutes away from downtown Knoxville, Forest Heights claims a great location. It features high-performing schools, parks, picnic areas, and community-thrown events. This private pocket has been looked over, but the ideal location and peaceful ambiance make it an excellent spot for a family.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-what-s-happening-in-forest-heights\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_Happening_in_Forest_Heights\"><\/span><strong>What\u2019s Happening in Forest Heights<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Residents of Forest Heights can easily access Sutherland Avenue and Bearden, with plenty of local shops, ethnic restaurants, and organic grocery stores.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The neighborhood is within walking distance of the restaurants and stores on Kingston Pike.
