I work in Oak Ridge. Live a little north east of there. Property taxes are pretty high in OR compared to surrounding cities. But they have (one of) the highest concentration of PhD's in the US.
Matt, if you could not find any place in south knoxville that made you want to move, you didnt look very hard. Maryville is AWESOME!! They have a hospital, cracker barrel and walmart. Minutes away from some of the best roads in the country; foot hills parkway, great smokey national park, tail of the dragon, cherohalla (sp?) skyway, blue ridge parkway, etc... I sill have a house there but moved a little north.
The area you asked about is poster board hill billy country. A few guys I work with live out there. Beautiful country though.
