Union County is space-forward with a county-seat hub, lake-oriented pockets, and rural areas where privacy is the priority. Start with these areas, then narrow by access, lot size, and the home style you want.
A quick snapshot of what day-to-day life and housing looks like—then use the communities and filters below to narrow fast.
North of Knoxville access: a common choice for buyers who want more space while staying within practical reach of the metro.
Primary hub: Maynardville anchors daily services, local dining, and the broadest nearby residential options.
Lake-oriented pocket: Sharps Chapel draws buyers prioritizing Norris Lake proximity and recreation access.
More room available: rural areas commonly offer larger lots and privacy-focused options compared with denser counties.
Property function matters: access, utilities, and usable land often influence value as much as the home itself.
Home style mix: established homes near town plus rural properties where land and setting lead the decision.
Best search strategy: decide “close to Maynardville vs. lake corridor vs. more seclusion” first, then filter by acreage, one-level living, or newer construction where available.
