                  [**Open Bearden in Google Maps →**35.9337° N, 83.9847° W · ZIP 37919, 37921](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=35.9337,-83.9847)
              
    
    
          
        

## Character

        

The neighborhood offers a mix of mid-century ranch homes, newer infill construction, and the region's highest density of locally owned restaurants along Kingston Pike. Population grew roughly 8% over five years according to Census ACS estimates, reflecting continued West Knoxville infill demand.

      
    
    
          
        

## History

        

Bearden operated as an independent town before it was annexed by the City of Knoxville. The community's name derives from the pioneer Bearden family; the corridor grew alongside the electric streetcar line and later Kingston Pike's emergence as Knoxville's primary east-west commercial artery.
