About Opportunity Ridge
Opportunity Ridge is a neighborhood in northeast Knox County, Tennessee, positioned between the John Sevier community to the southeast, Plainview to the northeast, and Mascot further southeast along the Holston River corridor. The area is reached by way of Rutledge Pike and Governor John Sevier Highway, two of the main routes linking this part of the county to Knoxville. The surrounding landscape is marked by ridges and open land typical of this stretch of East Tennessee, with newer residential development filling in alongside older rural parcels. Nearby neighborhoods include Beeler Farms, Silveredge, Twin Brooks, Majors Landing, Copper Meadows, and Emory Farms, giving this corner of the county a cluster of similarly built subdivisions. Its location away from the denser parts of Knoxville keeps lot sizes larger and the setting more open.
