Downtown & University Knoxville

The urban core of Knoxville centered on Gay Street and Market Square, extending south to the University of Tennessee campus along the Tennessee River. Downtown's five districts include the Old City entertainment district, the Jackson Avenue warehouse corridor, and the World's Fair Park anchored by the iconic Sunsphere. The UT campus (30,000+ students) drives the cultural energy of the Fort Sanders and Cumberland Avenue areas. South of the river, the South Knoxville waterfront along Sevier Avenue has emerged as a revitalized dining and arts destination.
