Lakemoor Hills: A Lakefront Neighborhood in South Knoxville

• University of Tennessee

• UT Medical Center

• McGhee Tyson Airport

This makes Lakemoor Hills ideal for commuters who prefer to live outside the city center but still want easy access.

• Larger lots and mature landscaping

Scenic Beauty in Spring
