                  [**Open West Hills in Google Maps →**35.9298° N, 84.0136° W · ZIP 37909](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=35.9298,-84.0136)
              
    
    
          
        

## Character

        

The neighborhood's rolling topography and mature tree cover distinguish it from flatter West Knoxville subdivisions. Homes are primarily mid-century ranch and split-level designs on larger lots, with several newer apartment communities added along its edges.

      
    
    
          
        

## History

        

West Hills developed through the 1960s and 1970s as Knoxville's westward suburban expansion accelerated alongside the construction of I-40 and the opening of West Town Mall in 1972, which remains the area's dominant retail anchor.
