Austin Homes
families
Located less than one mile east of Knoxville’s revitalized downtown area, Austin Homes is a 23-acre site at the intersection of Summit Hill Drive and Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. Less than one-half mile from the Old City district, the site – initially developed in 1941 – soon will serve hundreds of families again.
The property is undergoing a full redevelopment to increase the number of available affordable housing units; enhance curb appeal; add public spaces; and provide a direct connection to the Old City.
The first phase of 105 units is scheduled to be completed in November 2021. A second phase of 180 units is scheduled to open in December 2022, and at least 83 more units will be added in 2023.
