About Happy Acres
Happy Acres sits in northeast Knox County, a few miles southwest of Mascot and just northwest of the John Sevier community, with Knoxville about seven miles to the southwest. The area lies near the Rutledge Pike (US-11W) corridor, which links the neighborhood to surrounding parts of Knox County and into downtown Knoxville. Homes here are set on established residential streets with mature trees and landscaping typical of this part of the county. Nearby neighborhoods include Ritta, Rushland Park, Oak Grove, Aylesbury, East Towne Villas and Shannon Valley Farms, all within a few miles. The area's position along the Holston River valley gives it a layout of winding roads rather than a dense grid, typical of northeast Knox County's older subdivisions.
