I drove through downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. This is what I saw.
Wow so Knoxville is sneaky cool and fun. Who would have thought?
Okay so on this road trip of Knoxville, we’re going to bounce around a little bit instead of doing our Knoxville city tour in one continuous drive like we normally do. Right now, we’re just outside of campus at the University of Tennessee, which begins just outside of the downtown area. We’re on Cumberland Avenue, heading east towards downtown.
It’s Sunday, November 10, 2019 at 10:30 am.
We’re on the very southern edge of downtown now, and this is the Tennessee River, where there are a handful of restaurants and housing developments. The Tennessee River begins here in Knoxville. It’s headwaters are formed due to the confluence of the French Broad and Holston Rivers.
We’re at Gay Street, which is the main drag here in Knoxville. Along Gay Street are hotels, arts venues, shopping, and a ton of restaurants and bars.
Knoxville’s population is 170,000. There’s a lot of history here. Arguably the nation’s first electric streetcar ran right up the middle of this street way back in 1890. Mountain Dew had its beginnings in Knoxville. The channel HGTV is based here too. Country singer Kenny Chesney grew up here and director Quentin Tarantino was born here.
Here on the left is Knoxville’s market square, which has a number of restaurants and some shopping. This is where Knoxville has its farmers markets, musical acts, and the city puts in a temporary skating rink in the winter time.
Now we’re heading east again back towards Gay Street.
On the north end of town is the more run down section of downtown called Old City. This is the sketchiest part of downtown Knoxville - home to the city’s main bus stop, train station and homeless shelter. There are a decent number of shops, restaurants and bars here, and this is where people go clubbing - typically starting at about 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Crime wise - it’s not pretty. Knoxville has been called one of the 50 least livable cities, because, while the downtown area might be charming and very safe, the outskirts are very poor and dangerous. Crime in Knoxville is 131% higher than other cities of its size. 1 in 4 people in Knoxville lives in poverty, almost double the national average.
For perspective, we’ll show you how quickly things change just a block or two east of downtown. The city of Knoxville has been working hard to gentrify and improve much of the greater Knoxville area by rebuilding older rundown homes in this part of town and building newer homes to appeal to younger, wealthier home owners. It’s a process that is ongoing here in Knoxville, and one we talked about a little more extensively in another video we did on the worst areas of Knoxville, where we drove through east Knoxville.
The link to that video is in the description.
For perspective on downtown, we’re going to jump to a clip on the south side of downtown, from where we will drive over the Tennessee River on the Gay Street Bridge and drive back into downtown from across the river.
Now, one more other particular area we covered was a section of the University of Tennessee, which is only two miles from downtown proper. This is what the locals call The Strip, and it’s a series of restaurants and bars where the college kids hang out. During football and basketball games, it can be quite busy here.
Leaving the strip, we head into campus proper. We’re going to show you two landmarks on campus - where the basketball team plays their games, and the campus’ football stadium. The University of Tennessee has about 28,000 students, which puts it just inside the top 50 in terms of largest attendance
Here on the left is the massive Thompson-Boling Arena where the mens and womens basketball teams play. This street is called Phillip Fulmer way. It was named after long-time football coach Phillip Fulmer. The stadium here in the middle of campus is called Neyland Stadium. It’s absolutely massive - and holds 102,000 people. It’s so large it’s hard to even get the entire thing in one frame.
That’s the end of our drive through the greater Knoxville downtown area. Hopefully this gave you some perspective on what Knoxville Tennessee is like.

I drove through the worst parts of Knoxville, Tennessee. This is what I saw.
Wow! Knoxville's worst areas weren't what I thought they'd be at all. What an interesting experience!
So we’re going to begin our trip in downtown Knoxville on the northern edge of downtown in a small district called Old City. This is the sketchiest part of downtown Knoxville - home to the city’s main bus stop, train station and homeless shelter. There are a decent number of shops, restaurants and bars here, and this is where people go clubbing - typically starting at about 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
It’s Sunday, November 10, 2019 at 11:15 am.
We’re going to leave the downtown area and head east into the worst area of Knoxville.
As you can see, many areas along the eastern side of downtown Knoxville look to be undergoing change. That’s because Knoxville has begun a gentrification process, slowly moving out the poorer members of the community further out, making room for condos, more retail and other newer and more modern buildings that will be appealing to younger, wealthier home buyers and residents.
This is the corner of McCalla Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard. As you can see across the street - the city has removed a large section of poor, crime ridden areas and built a more modern community. This particular community is called Five Points.
However, two blocks in front of us, if we kept going, on the other side of this new little development, is one of Knoxville’s worst projects. It’s a very interesting dynamic, where you have brand new homes on the same block as the projects.
This gentrification process is controversial. While many support improving communities, it forces poorer people out of their homes, separating them from friends and family. It is odd to see random modernized homes mixed in with older rundown homes. On some blocks, rent goes for $500 for most of the block, and then there are fixed up homes renting for $1,500 a month, or selling for $250,000 grand.
Knoxville has plans to continue modernizing its neighborhoods to lure in more affluence to the area. It seems to be working, as the Knoxville metropolitan area has grown faster than the national average, only trailing the Nashville area in terms of growth.
We’re now in the Parkridge neighborhood, which regularly gets the most attention when it comes to crime and poverty. But I’ve seen some ghetto areas, and this was tame in comparison.
Crime wise - it’s not pretty. Knoxville has been called one of the 50 least livable cities, because, while the downtown area might be charming and very safe, the outskirts are very poor and dangerous. Crime in Knoxville is 131% higher than other cities of its size. 1 in 4 people in Knoxville lives in poverty, almost double the national average.
We’re going to turn left and head west back towards downtown again and head down Magnolia Avenue, one of the most dangerous streets in the greater Knoxville area. Many times, when you hear about a crime, it’s along this section of East Magnolia Avenue.
To be honest, the worst areas of Knoxville were not really even all that bad. From my perspective, the worst outlying areas of Knoxville are just generally poor with heightened crime, but NOTHING like areas in major cities across the country.
We’re going to end the drive here. We also did a drivethrough of downtown Knoxville and the University of Tennessee, as well as a video on our drive to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The links to those videos are in the description.

Moving to Knoxville, Tennessee! | Kelsey Smith
Moving day is finally here! Xavier and I moved to Knoxville, Tennessee from Denver, Colorado, 1300+ miles and 19+ hours of driving across two days. What we didn't realize going into it was the Penske moving truck capped out at 75 mph, so everything took juuuust a little longer. We stopped overnight in Columbia, Missouri and finished the drive on day two. Moving with a dog is such an adventure, but luckily her dog bed fit in between our seats in the truck. We're moving in with my parents outside of Knoxville while we search for our dream house closer to the city.
