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.
