Downtown Knoxville Real Estate

 is more exciting than ever, still affordable by U.S. average real estate price standards, and very possibly poised to explode in value.

Below are my picks for best people and best resources to make your downtown real estate purchase a profitable one.

While Gay Street is moving slowly towards full occupancy on the ground level, there are still a few sweet spots left, according to downtownknoxville.org's list of available downtown Knoxville commercial properties.

The History of Downtown Knoxville

I love the storied history that goes with all the old buildings that make up downtown Knoxville. They range from the "curse of the white mule," which legend says has caused devestating fires in the heart of downtown, to the Presidents of the United States who have spent time enjoying entertainment in the Bijou Theatre -- the oldest working theatre in Tennessee.

A walk down Gay Street brings these stories to life as you enter buildings for work, shopping, home or dining. If you're interested in the history of downtown Knoxville, be sure to visit our East Tennessee History Center, built in 1874.

Originally a custom house and post office, it was the first federal building located in downtown Knoxville.
