Conveniently located off three of the nation’s major interstates, Knoxville is within a one day’s drive of half of the country’s population. Home to the main campus of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville is also home to seventeen additional colleges which provide ample cultural and educational opportunities. The most-visited national park in the entire country- The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, is located right outside of Knoxville. A rich quality of life, outstanding schools, affordable housing and a low cost of living makes Knoxville a great place to live and work. There is no state income tax in Tennessee.
