Farragut sits on Kingston Pike in west Knox County, and a lot of newcomers who search for Farragut TN real estate are surprised to learn it is not a Knoxville neighborhood. It is its own incorporated town, with its own Board of Mayor and Aldermen, its own parks department, and its own rules about taxes and zoning. It is also where The Knox Fox Real Estate Group has its office, at 11553 Kingston Pike, so these are the bakeries, parks, and traffic lights I deal with every week.
This guide covers the 12 things I walk people through before they buy in Farragut: how the town works, what you pay and what you don't, where people eat, shop, and spend a Saturday, the parks and greenways, the roads, hospitals, utilities, and schools, then the homes themselves. The numbers come last in each section. For the big picture, 516 homes closed in ZIP 37934 from November 1, 2025 to October 31, 2026, at a median of $716,250, with the middle half of sales between $544,900 and $925,000. ZIP codes never match town lines exactly, and I'll show you how to check an address.
The short version: Farragut is an incorporated town of about 16 square miles. The Town charges no property tax of its own, so Farragut homeowners pay the Knox County rate. Public schools are Knox County Schools, assigned by address. Fire protection and several utilities come from outside providers you sign up with yourself. If you want the other parts of Knox County for comparison, my guide to the best areas to live in Knoxville puts Farragut next to ten others.

1. Farragut Is Its Own Town, Not a Knoxville Neighborhood
Farragut is a separate incorporated town, so a Farragut address and a Knoxville address can sit on the same road and still answer to different governments.
Residents voted to incorporate in 1979, and the Town has operated since 1980. It runs roughly from the I-40/75 corridor on the north to Turkey Creek Road and the railroad line on the south, with the Loudon County line on the west and Lovell Road and Concord Hills on the east. The 2020 Census counted 23,506 people. The name comes from Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, the U.S. Navy's first admiral, who was born in this part of Knox County in 1801.
A small town government changes what you deal with day to day. Farragut handles roads and drainage, its parks, planning, and building codes, which is why you will hear people talk about "the Town" when they mean permits, signs, and development decisions. It does not run its own fire department, water system, or trash pickup, which I'll get to in section 7.
The mailing address trap. Many homes inside the Town have a mailing address of "Knoxville, TN 37934," and the MLS often lists them that way too. ZIP 37934 is also broader than the Town itself, so a "Knoxville, TN 37934" address does not tell you whether you're inside Farragut or in unincorporated Knox County nearby. Before you fall for a house, check the parcel. Knox County's KGIS mapping tool shows the parcel and its surroundings, the Town's GIS maps show Town limits, and Town Hall at 865-966-7057 can confirm. I do this check on every Farragut-area search.
2. Farragut Has No Town Property Tax
You pay Knox County property tax on a Farragut home, and the Town adds nothing on top.
Knox County's rate for the 2026 to 2027 tax year is $1.0158 per $100 of assessed value, set after the 2026 countywide reappraisal. Residential property is assessed at 25% of appraised value. You may still see $1.55 per $100 on older pages, including some on the Town's own site. That was the rate before the reappraisal reset it.
Here is how the math works on a home appraised at $700,000: $700,000 times 25% is $175,000 assessed, divided by 100, times $1.0158, comes to about $1,778 a year. That is an example, not a quote. Your real bill depends on the appraisal for that parcel, so look up the address on the Knox County Property Assessor's site and confirm with the Knox County Trustee.
For comparison, a home inside the City of Knoxville pays the county rate plus a city rate of $1.3956 per $100, which would add about $2,442 a year on the same $700,000 example.
Your other monthly cost is the HOA. Of the 516 Farragut-ZIP sales in the last 12 months, 410 (79%) had a mandatory HOA, 17 had a voluntary one, and 89 had none. Among sales with a mandatory fee listed, the median was $495 for those billed yearly (195 sales), about $135 for those billed monthly (131 sales), and $408 for those billed quarterly (80 sales). Fees depend on what the community maintains, so ask for the HOA documents before you write an offer.
3. Eating and Drinking Along Kingston Pike
Kingston Pike is Farragut's main street, and most of the places locals actually go sit along a few miles of it.
I'll start with the sweet stuff, because I always do. VG's Bakery on Kingston Pike is the stop for scratch-baked bread, pastries, pies, and cakes. For a casual lunch, Sam & Andy's West is a burger, sub, and chili-cheese-fry kind of place, and Potrillo's Taqueria & Neveria is the pick for tacos. When you want a sit-down dinner with a patio or live music, 35 North Farragut Bar & Grill is on Kingston Pike, and Seasons Innovative Bar & Grille is on Parkside Drive near Turkey Creek.
Newer to the scene is Biddle Farms, a mixed-use project near Kingston Pike with apartments, townhomes, and a town-center cluster of restaurants that includes Tupelo Honey, Super Chix, and Parlor Doughnuts. It is an example of redevelopment on land that was already built on, not new land.
I'm leaving hours off this list on purpose, because they change. Check each place's own page or Google listing before you drive over.
4. Shopping, Entertainment, and Things to Do
Most of Farragut's shopping sits in two places: Kingston Pike and the Turkey Creek area at I-40/75 and Lovell Road.
Pinnacle at Turkey Creek is the big one, with more than 65 stores and restaurants. Regal Cinemas, Barnes & Noble, and Total Wine are there, and Nordstrom Rack opened in 2026. Kingston Pike has the everyday run of grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, and small shops.
For a weekend out, Farragut has more to offer than people expect from a town this size:
- Topgolf Knoxville has more than 70 bays, a sports bar, and a rooftop terrace.
- Cool Sports has an NHL-size ice rink with public skating and lessons, plus indoor turf for soccer and flag football.
- Cotton Eyed Joe books live country music and runs line-dancing nights, and yes, there is a mechanical bull.
History is close by too. The Farragut Museum at Town Hall tells the story of the town and its namesake. Campbell Station Inn, a historic inn on Kingston Pike, opened to the public in January 2026 as the Town's welcome center with a history room and gift shop. Check the Visit Farragut listing for current visiting days.
The Town's calendar is worth a look before you move. The Independence Day parade comes down Kingston Pike, and each holiday season the Town lights up Founders Park, Mayor Ralph McGill Plaza, and spots around town, starting with a free Countdown to Light the Park event in late November. Dates and details are on the Town's special events page and Visit Farragut.
5. Parks, Greenways, and Lake Days
Farragut runs five parks and a plaza of its own, connects many neighborhoods with about 16 miles of greenway, and sits close to Fort Loudoun Lake.
The parks are different enough that you'll probably pick favorites. Founders Park at Campbell Station is a 17-acre passive park next to the Farragut branch library, with paved and mulched trails, a heritage trail with bronze sculptures, and two picnic pavilions. Anchor Park is the Town's first park, 19 acres next to the lakefront, with a fishing pond, two accessible fishing piers, a 0.8-mile paved trail, and a playground. McFee Park is the largest at 51 acres, with a splash pad, lighted tennis courts, and an adaptive bike and hike trail. Mayor Bob Leonard Park is the sports complex: lighted turf and grass fields, nine pickleball courts, sand volleyball, and a wetlands trail with an observation deck. There is also the BlueCross Healthy Place playground behind Town Hall and Mayor Ralph McGill Plaza behind Campbell Station Inn.
Here is Eric Whitener's tour of Farragut's parks (recorded in 2023).
For current facilities, rules, and rentals, use the Town's parks page, since details change after a video is recorded.
Farragut's parks are Town parks, run by Farragut Parks & Recreation rather than Knox County, and they do real work in the town's calendar. Every park has restrooms, and three have picnic pavilions you can reserve through Parks & Recreation at 865-218-3375. The Farragut Community Center on Jamestowne Boulevard runs classes, open gym, athletics, and tennis and pickleball programs. Long-running Town events use the parks too: the Bob Watt Youth Fishing Rodeo is held at Anchor Park, and Fun with Farragut's Fleet and Freaky Friday Fright Nite are held at Mayor Bob Leonard Park. The Town's special events page has the current schedule. If a park will be part of your week, drive to it from the house you're considering, because the best match is often the one you can reach by greenway.
The greenways are what make some Farragut streets feel connected. The Turkey Creek Greenway runs 1.6 miles from the Brixworth, Kingsgate, and Sailview neighborhoods to Anchor Park. The McFee Greenway is 1.5 miles linking Bridgemore, McFee Manor, and the Cottages at Pryse Farm to McFee Park. The Grigsby Chapel Greenway stretches 2.4 miles along Grigsby Chapel Road. If you want to walk to a park, ask me which greenway touches the street you're looking at, because it varies house to house.
For lake days, Knox County's Concord Park on Fort Loudoun Lake is just east of Farragut. It has about 500 acres, a marina, a boat launch, roughly 13.7 miles of singletrack, and The Cove for swimming and paddling. For golf, Fox Den Country Club is a private membership club in the Fox Den community, and Topgolf is open to everyone. If you're buying near the water, check the FEMA flood map for the parcel as part of your due diligence.
6. Getting Around: Kingston Pike, I-40/75, and the Commute
Kingston Pike carries local traffic, I-40/75 has interchanges at Campbell Station Road and Lovell Road, and Pellissippi Parkway just east is the way to Oak Ridge and the airport.
The Town's own list of common commutes includes Knoxville, Oak Ridge, Maryville, Alcoa, Loudon County, and McGhee Tyson Airport. The Town also lists a park-and-ride commuter lot at 11700 Campbell Lakes Drive off Campbell Station Road, which doubles as a parking spot for the Grigsby Chapel Greenway.
Traffic is the thing every Farragut resident will mention. The Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road area is busy, and the Town knows it. The Town has upgraded its signal system and is piloting adaptive signals at Kingston Pike intersections. The Town's adaptive signal page has the current status and results. My practical advice: when you tour homes, drive the route you'd take to work at the hour you'd take it. A map can't tell you what 8:00 a.m. feels like at a given light.
7. Hospitals, Utilities, and Fire Service
The closest hospitals are Tennova Turkey Creek Medical Center and Parkwest Medical Center, and your electric, water, gas, and fire protection come from separate providers you set up yourself.
Tennova Turkey Creek Medical Center is on Parkside Drive at Turkey Creek, and Parkwest Medical Center is on Park West Boulevard just east along I-40/75. Check each hospital's website for services and networks.
For utilities, the Town's new-resident checklist points to LCUB for electric, First Utility District for water and sewer, and KUB for gas. The Town does not provide residential garbage or recycling, so you'll pick a private hauler, and not every hauler serves every street. Fire protection is by subscription through Rural Metro, so you enroll when you move in. I explain how that works in Understanding Rural Metro Fire Services in Knox County.
A tip I give every buyer: ask the seller for 12 months of electric and water bills. Two houses that look identical can run very different utility bills.
8. Schools: Zones Come First
Knox County Schools assigns public schools by address, so the school you get depends on the house, not on the town.
The Town of Farragut names four Knox County public schools in the community: Farragut Primary, Farragut Intermediate, Farragut Middle, and Farragut High. Whether a particular home is zoned to any of them depends on its address, and some 37934 addresses are zoned to schools elsewhere. Use the district's School Zone Search for the exact address, and confirm with the school if enrollment matters to your timeline. School zones can change.
I don't rate or rank schools, and nobody on my team will. The Tennessee Department of Education publishes a report card for every public school, and you can read those yourself. The Town's schools page also lists the private schools in Farragut.
Our Farragut High and Farragut Middle pages search listings by school district. Treat them as a starting point, and verify the address with the district's zone search.
9. The Homes: Eras, Sizes, and Types
Farragut homes range from 1970s one-level houses under $500,000 to estate-size homes above $1.5 million, and the type you want says more about the price than the town itself.
Established 1970s and 1980s neighborhoods. About a third of last year's sales (175 homes, 34%) were built before 1990, with a median price of $570,000. These are communities like Village Green, Kings Gate, and Stonecrest, with mature trees and a lot of one-level plans. Median lot size for this group is about half an acre. Condition varies inside the same neighborhood, so a showing tells you more than the year built.
The 1990s and 2000s two-stories. The biggest group by era is homes built from 1990 to 2009, 169 sales (33%) at a median of $689,500 and about 3,250 square feet. The first video below, 13024 Lady Slipper Ln in Orchid Grove, is a 1999 two-story of 2,884 square feet.
Estate-size homes and pools. One in five sales (104 homes, 20%) closed at $1 million or more, with a median of $1.2 million and about 4,170 square feet. Bridgemore and Fox Run are the names you'll hear, and the Buckley Rd home in the videos below is in Saddle Ridge. Thirty sales last year had an in-ground pool, at a median of $1,075,000. Those homes took longer to sell, with a median of about 33 days. You can browse them on our Farragut homes with a pool and luxury homes pages.
Newer construction. About one in four sales (125 homes, 24%) was built in 2021 or later, with a median of $799,900. New-build activity is concentrated in a few communities: The Grove at Boyd Station, Ivey Farms, and Meadows on McFee, which I compare in the table below. See Farragut new construction for what's available now.
One-level living. Ranch and basement-ranch homes were 92 sales (18%) at a median of $520,250, and they sold fast, with a median of 8 days on the market. If you want a main-level bedroom, 236 sales (46%) listed one. Start with our ranch homes and first-floor primary bedroom pages.
Condos and townhomes. There were 31 condo sales at a median of $407,900, and they closed in a median of 7 days. Townhouse-style homes (20 sales) had a median of $751,795. Browse Farragut condos and townhomes. Farragut Commons mixes detached homes and condominiums, and its 8 sales last year ran from $385,000 to $515,000. The first video below is 830 Farragut Commons Dr, a 1991 detached home there.
No HOA at all. Not every Farragut home is in a community with dues. 89 of the 516 sales had none, which is 17%. 11022 Woody Dr, listed by The Knox Fox in the Arthur Lenoir area, is an example: a 2008 home with a pool, a wraparound deck, and no HOA, close to Kingston Pike and Campbell Station Road. It is the second video below.
Acreage. The median lot is 0.36 acre. Only 29 sales (6%) were on an acre or more, and those homes had a median price of $882,465 and sat a median of 71 days.
Farragut home types by the numbers (ZIP 37934, November 1, 2025 to October 31, 2026):
| Type | Sales | Median price | Median days on market |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built before 1990 | 175 | $570,000 | 15 |
| Built 1990 to 2009 | 169 | $689,500 | 20 |
| Built 2010 to 2020 | 47 | $867,000 | 16 |
| Built 2021 or later | 125 | $799,900 | 22 |
| Ranch and basement ranch | 92 | $520,250 | 8 |
| Condominium | 31 | $407,900 | 7 |
| In-ground pool | 30 | $1,075,000 | 33 |
| Lot of 1 acre or more | 29 | $882,465 | 71 |
10. Farragut Communities Compared
Farragut's communities split into a few clear groups, and the table below puts the ones with the most sales side by side.
Roughly, the newest homes are in The Grove at Boyd Station, Ivey Farms, and Meadows on McFee. The larger-home end is Bridgemore, Fox Run, and Fox Den. The 1970s and 1980s neighborhoods with the lowest medians are Stonecrest, Kings Gate, and Wood Harbour. Village Green, Concord Hills, Sugarwood, Farragut Crossing, and Sheffield fill in the middle of the range. I grouped these by the subdivision names in the MLS. A few of those names can include homes just outside Town limits, so run the address check from section 1.
| Community | Sales | Median price | Median size (sq ft) | Median year built | Median days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Grove at Boyd Station | 45 | $1,015,000 | 3,053 | 2025 | 45 |
