Union County

Anderson County sits just northwest of Knoxville, offering a mix of small-town convenience, larger employment hubs, and quick access to outdoor recreation. The county’s main population centers—Clinton and Oak Ridge—each bring a different feel: Clinton leans more traditional and community-oriented, while Oak Ridge blends established neighborhoods with a strong science-and-industry presence and easy routes into West Knoxville.

Housing in Anderson County ranges from in-town neighborhoods with mature trees to newer subdivisions and rural properties with more space. Many buyers like the balance here: you can stay close to daily essentials while still having room to breathe, and you’re never far from lake access, trails, or day trips into the mountains. If your priorities include a manageable commute, a variety of home styles, and a county that offers both “quiet” and “connected,” Anderson County is often a strong fit.
