About Dyllis
Dyllis is an unincorporated area of Roane County, Tennessee, set in the rolling land southeast of Coalfield and southwest of Oliver Springs. It lies west of Oak Ridge, about 7 miles out, putting it within reach of the research and employment corridor there while keeping a more open, rural footprint. The surrounding county is known for its mix of wooded acreage, small farms and scattered residential pockets rather than dense subdivisions. Nearby named neighborhoods include Orchard Valley Estates, Elverton, Blair, Hartland Estates, Jonesville and Kries, giving the area a loose network of smaller residential clusters rather than one central town core. Roads through this part of Roane County connect toward Coalfield to the northwest and Oliver Springs to the northeast, making both small towns practical reference points for errands and services.
