About Durwood
Durwood is a Knox County neighborhood in the far west end of the Knoxville metro, positioned between Farragut about three miles west and Louisville roughly six miles southeast along the Fort Loudoun Lake corridor. The area is reached from Northshore Drive and connecting local roads that link west Knoxville to Farragut's retail corridor on Kingston Pike. Nearby neighborhoods include Lovell Heights, Weatherstone, Boxwood Hills, Castleglen, Franklin Hill and Admiral Bend, several of which share the same rolling, wooded terrain near the lake. Concord Park and the Fort Loudoun Lake shoreline give the area a water-oriented setting, while Karns lies about six miles north for additional shopping and services. Durwood's location keeps it close to both Farragut's commercial district and the quieter lake-adjacent roads that define this part of Knox County.
