About LeConte Vista
LeConte Vista is a residential neighborhood in southwest Knoxville, Knox County, roughly seven miles from downtown. The area sits in the Choto peninsula section of the county, where Northshore Drive winds along ridges and coves near the Tennessee River. Louisville and Alcoa lie about six miles south across the water, with Rockford a similar distance southeast, placing LeConte Vista within easy reach of both Knoxville and Blount County. Nearby neighborhoods include Rocky Hill, Meriwood, Terrace Woods, The Northshore Village, Legacy Cove and Hickory Hills-Rothwood, forming a cluster of established subdivisions along this stretch of Northshore Drive. The setting favors wooded lots and curving streets rather than a grid pattern, typical of the Choto area's hillier terrain. Access to Alcoa Highway and Pellissippi Parkway makes the location workable for trips toward downtown Knoxville, McGhee Tyson Airport or Maryville.
