Living in Hardin Valley
Hardin Valley is a community in western Knox County, about 15 miles west of downtown Knoxville. Since the late 2000s it has been one of the fastest-growing parts of the county. It's a practical spot for commuters: Pellissippi Parkway connects north toward Oak Ridge and south toward the airport, and Hardin Valley Road, Lovell Road and Oak Ridge Highway link it to I-40 and Turkey Creek.
Homes and history
Much of Hardin Valley's housing is newer construction in planned subdivisions, with a wide range of sizes and price points, plus some older homes on larger rural lots. New-construction communities are still being built, so buyers can often choose between a resale home and a new build. Pellissippi State Community College's main campus is in Hardin Valley.
Parks and things to do
- Hardin Valley Community Park (12734 Hickory Creek Rd): a Knox County park with an inclusive playground.
- Shopping and dining: Turkey Creek and the Pellissippi corridor are a short drive away.
- Outdoors: easy drives to Melton Hill Lake and the parks and trails around Oak Ridge.
Schools
School zoning is set by address, and Hardin Valley's fast growth means zones can change. Check any home's assigned schools with the Knox County Schools zoning lookup, or ask us and we'll look it up for a specific address.
