About Dante
Dante is a small unincorporated community in Knox County, sitting about five miles northwest of downtown Knoxville and just east of Powell. The area is anchored by Dante Road, which connects to Emory Road and Clinton Highway, two of the main routes linking this part of Knox County to Powell's retail corridor and to Knoxville proper. Homes here sit on larger parcels typical of this stretch of the county, with wooded buffers and open fields still common along the back roads. Beaver Creek runs through parts of this area, shaping the terrain into gentle rolling topography. Nearby neighborhoods such as Briarwood Estates, Amberfield, Idlewood Acres, Harvest Grove, Ponds Inlet and Thornbrook give the surrounding area more structured subdivisions, while Dante itself keeps a more road-based layout.
