Kingston, TN

Northern Tennessee is known for the beauty of its hills and rivers, and the town of Kingston is perfectly situated to explore this region.

The Tennessee River winds through the countryside, with the Watts Bar Dam creating a lake south and west of the city limits. Besides the opportunities for fishing and water sports, Kingston is only an hour's drive west of the historical attractions of Knoxville, such as the Museum of Appalachia and the Marble Springs State Historic Homestead.

Possibly one of the greatest attractions to living in Kingston, TN is the chance to own a truly palatial country home that is still only a short drive away from the big city. Luxury minded buyers will find homes for sale in Kingston situated on generous tracts of riverside land. These larger lots are also an excellent opportunity for the investor or developer.

Within city limits, the real estate market still has plenty of choices for the upscale buyer. Riverfront homes for sale in Kingston do not have the large country acreages, but these properties still have that old fashioned Southern charm. Many of these homes list in the middle $700's and up.

For the family minded buyer, the neighborhoods away from the riverfront are the best places to look. Very nice, spacious properties can be found throughout the Kingston area in the middle $300's.
