You are here · Farragut, in the West Knox atlas · See all six
Farragut isn't a zip code — it's the rhythm of a Saturday morning at McFee Park, the same neighbor who waves at you on the Anchor Park greenway every weekend, the elementary school that becomes a middle school that becomes a high school for one family across ten years. That's not a feature of every suburb. It's why this is the most consistent move-up market in the metro.
I show more Farragut homes than any other West Knox neighborhood. The Knox County schools that serve Farragut — Farragut Primary, Intermediate, Middle, and High — are part of the picture; what keeps families here for two decades is the ecosystem around them. Parks, lake access, the Town's calendar of community events, and a culture where buyers don't just close on a house, they invest in a circle.
If you're moving in from out of state, Farragut is usually the first question. From there we can sort 37934 from 37922, sidewalk subdivisions from half-acre lots, the eight-minute Pellissippi commute from the closer school feeder. There's a right Farragut answer for almost every buyer — the work is finding it.

Farragut is car-dependent by design — a quieter suburban pace — with Turkey Creek's shopping and dining minutes from most neighborhoods.

I've watched the same Farragut families come back to me three times — the first house, the move-up when the second baby arrives, the lake place when the kids leave for college. That rhythm doesn't happen in a transient market.
Farragut is the steadiest move-up market in West Knox for a reason. The schools are the engine, but what keeps families here ten and twenty years is the ecosystem around them — McFee, the Cove, Anchor Park, the Saturday-morning rhythm at the farmers market and the Town events calendar.
When buyers come to me from out of state, Farragut is almost always the first question they ask. The honest answer: it's worth what people pay, the inventory holds value, and within a year you'll know your kid's friends' parents by first name.
The real work in Farragut isn't finding a house — it's knowing which streets in which subdivisions sell to the same families twice in ten years. Zillow can't tell you that. I can.
Farragut is one of the most educated, highest-earning communities in all of Tennessee — a reflection of the professionals and families who choose to put down roots here.

The median home value is around $585,000, among the strongest markets in Knox County.
The median home value in Farragut is approximately $585,000, among the strongest and most-appreciating markets in Knox County. Inventory ranges from new construction to established move-up subdivisions and lake-adjacent estates.
Farragut is car-dependent by design — Walk Score 13, Bike Score 21, and no public transit. The suburban layout puts most amenities a short drive away rather than within walking distance, which most residents see as part of the appeal.
Day-to-day life centers on Turkey Creek and The Pinnacle, where shopping and dining — Calhoun's, Connor's Steak & Seafood, Dos Agaves — sit within a few minutes of most neighborhoods. McFee Park, Mayor Bob Leonard Park, and the Anchor Park greenway cover recreation, and The Cove at Concord Park puts kayaking and paddleboarding on Fort Loudoun Lake close by.
Farragut sits about 16–18 miles west of downtown Knoxville — typically a 25–30 minute drive off-peak via I-40 or Kingston Pike, with Watt Road and Campbell Station Road giving quick interstate access. McGhee Tyson Airport is roughly 25 minutes south, and the Pellissippi Parkway corridor toward Oak Ridge is about 20–25 minutes away.
Fort Loudoun Lake access, the steady move-up housing market, and an established small-town feel with its own town government are among the biggest draws. With a median household income of $143,984 and a poverty rate of just 2.9%, Farragut is one of the most established communities in East Tennessee.
