About Holston Hills
Holston Hills is a neighborhood on the east side of Knoxville, roughly 5 miles from downtown, set along a bend of the Holston River. The area grew up around Holston Hills Country Club and its golf course, with Holston Hills Road threading through the neighborhood past mature trees and established landscaping. Governor John Sevier Highway and Asheville Highway provide the main connections into Knoxville and toward John Sevier to the north. Nearby neighborhoods include Chilhowee Hills, Chilhowee Hills South, River Place, Bridge View, Holston Meadows and Cottages at Governor's Landing. The riverfront setting and golf course give the area a recognizable layout, with homes positioned along curving roads that follow the river's contour rather than a strict grid.
