    South Knoxville’s 37920 hugs the Tennessee River just over the bridges from downtown, mixing leafy hills, four-season (humid-subtropical) weather, and a laid-back, outdoorsy community of long-time locals, UT-affiliated renters, and young families. Weekend life leans outside at Ijams Nature Center, the Knoxville Urban Wilderness, Baker Creek Preserve, Fort Dickerson Quarry, and Suttree Landing Park, with miles of hiking and bike trails plus paddling spots. Sevier Avenue brings coffee and craft beer (Honeybee Coffee, Alliance Brewing, Printshop Beer Co.) and casual eats like SoKno Taco and South Coast Pizza, while the Chapman Highway corridor covers daily needs with Food City, Walmart, and gyms. Pet owners use the PetSafe Charter Doyle dog park, and commuters appreciate quick links to downtown, UT, UT Medical Center, and the airport via Henley Street, James White Parkway, and Alcoa Highway. According to Zillow’s recent market trends, the median asking rent is around $1,450 over the past few months, with most listings roughly $1,100–$2,100.
