About Arminda
Arminda sits in eastern Knox County, placed between the small communities of Mascot to the east and John Sevier to the southwest, with Strawberry Plains further east along the river corridor. The area is shaped by its proximity to the Holston River and by John Sevier Highway and Asheville Highway, which connect the area to Knoxville and the surrounding river towns. Homes here are spread along secondary roads rather than dense subdivisions, giving the area an open, rural-residential layout. Nearby neighborhoods such as Mountair, McMillan, Whites Creek Woods, Avy Park, Brooks Meadow and Eastwood round out this section of the county, each adding its own cluster of homes along the same general corridor between Mascot and John Sevier.
