Considering moving back to east tn

If I can get a decent job, I’d like to return to Tennessee. Currently in Charlotte area now.

Try Lenoir City.

Check this out on Zillow. Search houses for sale in Clinton Tn. The house is not in Clinton.

Houses are cheaper in Oak Ridge than Knoxville for the most part. If you want Knoxville, then I’d suggest looking in Powell. Decent schools and lots of houses in that price range.

"If I can get a decent job, I’d like to return to Tennessee."

That's the tricky part. A lot more of us would have a zip code in the Great State if the jobs were there.

I’d get the job before I started picking houses. LOL

I lived in Powell a decade ago and the houses are affordable, schools are pretty good. Same with the Gibbs area, but that's a good bit further from Oak Ridge. Gibbs was quieter. What is your occupation?

Gotcha. That explains wanting to be near ORNL. Not to try and sway you, but have you checked out jobs at Los Alamos (LANL)? They pay extremely well, no crime and schools are some of the best in the country. Housing is really expensive though.

With that kind of area you could probably get over to cedar bluff or West hills. Where I grew up and still have friends living there. Schools are great too

There may be some houses in the Hardin Valley area in that price range. West Knox County is your best bet if public school is your #1 priority.

 

[EdEcEko77]

I hadn’t. Thanks. I have a great job now but only want to change because I miss living in Tennessee. Knoxville area specifically

I thought oak ridge has good schools?
