About Northshore Heights
Northshore Heights sits about nine miles southwest of downtown Knoxville, in the stretch of Knox County that borders Blount County near Louisville, Alcoa and Rockford. The area sits within the broader Fort Loudoun Lake corridor, where several residential subdivisions, including Madison Grove, Amberleigh, Whittington Creek, Windfield Estates, Clearbrook Farms and Kensington, share the same general stretch of roads off the Alcoa Highway (US-129) corridor. That route is the main connector between Knoxville, McGhee Tyson Airport and the Maryville/Alcoa area, making Northshore Heights a practical home base for reaching either direction. Louisville, just a few miles south, adds a smaller-town anchor with its own local roads and proximity to the lake.
