The Lifestyle You Deserve
The Commons at Knoxville was created for The University of Tennessee students who want the best possible living experience
Your Launchpad to Explore Knoxville
The Commons offers an ideal mix of safety, security, and discovery. With the University of Tennessee and its global academic outlook just steps away, you also have easy access to a thriving walkable community and stunning nature within a bike ride or short drive.
Located directly west of downtown Knoxville and north of the University of Tennessee, The Commons is in the middle of Fort Sanders – a haven for college students and recent grads. Fort Sanders is named after a Civil War Union bastion that once stood near the center of town, and the neighborhood’s history runs deep. The Fort Sanders Historic District is filled with original Victorian-era houses and buildings, many named on the National Register of Historic Places. Many others are either rented out or have been converted into apartments to fit the growing renter population in the neighborhood.
