Fourth & Gill, Knoxville — Neighborhood Guide for Relocators

Fourth & Gill is Knoxville's most charming historic neighborhood — Victorian and Queen Anne homes on tree-lined streets, walking distance to downtown, with a tight-knit community that hosts block parties and knows each other by name.

Fourth & Gill is what happens when a neighborhood preserves its character instead of bulldozing it. Queen Anne and Craftsman homes line the streets, many beautifully restored. It's walkable to downtown and the Old City but feels distinctly residential. The neighborhood park hosts community events, and Central Filling Station (a converted gas station turned food hall) anchors the social scene. The tradeoff: inventory is limited — when homes here sell, they go fast.
