About Kimberlin Heights
Kimberlin Heights is a residential area in southeast Knox County, Tennessee, set along the French Broad River and reached by Kimberlin Heights Road and John Sevier Highway. It lies roughly four miles north of Seymour and about nine miles from both John Sevier and Mascot, placing it in the river corridor between Knoxville's urban core and the more rural stretches toward Sevier County. The area is known for its riverside setting and quieter county roads rather than commercial development, with Chapman Highway (US-441) providing a main route toward Seymour and on into Knoxville. Nearby neighborhoods such as Riverchase, Riverdale and Union Valley share this same river valley setting, giving the broader area a consistent pattern of low-density residential streets along the water.
