About Rocky Hill
Rocky Hill sits about seven miles southwest of central Knoxville, within Knox County and close to Fort Loudoun Lake. The area is reached from Northshore Drive and connects toward Pellissippi Parkway, with Louisville and Alcoa a short drive south along the Blount County line. Homes here sit on wooded, rolling lots typical of this part of west Knoxville. Nearby neighborhoods include The Northshore Village, Legacy Cove, LeConte Vista, Scotsbury, Timbergrove and Tamarack, giving the area a range of residential streets. Its location between the lake and the parkway makes it a practical spot for reaching both downtown Knoxville and the Maryville and Alcoa corridor. Mature trees and sloped terrain shape much of the landscape, and many streets wind along the natural contours of the land rather than a strict grid.
