Character

The neighborhood's hilly, wooded terrain produces larger, irregularly shaped lots than typical Knoxville subdivisions, with a mix of mid-century and newer custom homes. Its position along Northshore Drive gives many properties Tennessee River access or views.

History

Rocky Hill developed from the 1950s onward as West Knoxville's suburban growth extended along the Northshore Drive river corridor, building on the area's naturally hilly and rock-outcropped terrain that gives the neighborhood its name.
