Best In Tennessee Real Estate™: Knoxville

Tellico Village leads Tennessee in gross rent by a striking 1.9x margin over the metro median—according to ALEX Intelligence’s latest 2024 data. This isn’t just about price; it reveals a deepening divide in access to quality housing and community infrastructure. While Knoxville averages $1,191 in gross rent, Tellico Village sits at $2,038, signaling a new reality: growth is not shared, it’s stratified. This data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s exclusive analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, 2024. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-05-knoxville-spread-gross-rent-place.
