About Oak View
Oak View sits in the foothills of Blount County, positioned between Wildwood to the west and Walland to the south along the corridor that leads toward the Great Smoky Mountains. The surrounding area is shaped by rolling terrain and tree cover typical of this part of the county, with US-321 (Lamar Alexander Parkway) serving as the main route connecting Walland, Wildwood, and Eagleton Village. Nearby neighborhoods include Settlers Pointe, Creekstone, Cold Springs, Walland Gap, Prospect, and Cowan Springs, giving the area a cluster of residential pockets rather than a single large subdivision. The Foothills Parkway and the broader Smoky Mountain gateway communities are within a short drive, making the area a practical base for day-to-day life as well as trips into the mountains.
