Located directly west of downtown Knoxville and north of the University of Tennessee, Fort Sanders is a haven for college students and recent grads. Fort Sanders is named after a Civil War Union bastion that once stood near the center of town, and the neighborhood’s history runs deep. The Fort Sanders Historic District is filled with original Victorian-era houses and buildings, many named on the National Register of Historic Places. Many others are either rented out or have been converted into apartments to fit the growing renter population in the neighborhood.
The Tennessee River runs south of Fort Sanders with neighboring community parks, large grocery stores, and popular bars. Bus stops are conveniently located around the neighborhood for quick and easy public transportation. In what isn’t taken up by apartments or historical homes, you’ll find an expansive hospital and many doctors’ offices in town.

Property Ratings at Highland Terrace Communities
It's near the University, that's the only best thing about it. The service is poor. Condition of amenities is also not good. Need more improvements..

Property Manager at Highland Terrace Communities, Responded To This Review

The staff is helpful and friendly. Sierra, Brantley, and Stephanie and all the others are cheerful and wave at you when they see you at a distance. Free food and beer events are held every once in a while to cheer up the tenants. The maintenance crew is helpful and they are friendly, too! And I like the different kind of coffee and snacks they provide at the office. (Complimentary, of course)

I’ve had the pleasure of living in various apartment communities, but the management team here truly stands out as exceptional. From the very first interaction, it’s clear that this team values promptness, professionalism, and genuine care for their residents. Maintenance requests are handled swiftly, often resolved within a day or two, which is a stark contrast to the delayed or overlooked responses I’ve experienced in the past. What truly sets this team apart is their friendliness and approachability. They don’t just treat you as a tenant but as part of a community. Whether it’s a small issue like a leaky faucet or a more complex concern, they listen attentively and act immediately to ensure everything is resolved to your satisfaction. The staff always greet you with a smile, whether you’re stopping by the office or passing them in the hallway. It creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes living here feel like home.

The location is great and the apartment layout is nice. The neighbors and streets are loud especially at night. I wish that the washer and dryer were newer and held more clothes.
Property Manager at Highland Terrace Communities, Responded To This Review
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you like the location and apartment layout, and we apologize for the noise and concerns with the washer and dryer.

Property Manager at Highland Terrace Communities, Responded To This Review
Thanks for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the activity around the parking lots, and we appreciate your input as we work to improve the situation.
Living at Highland Terrace has been an absolute dream! Nestled within walking distance of UT and downtown, it's the perfect blend of convenience and comfort. The vibrant community here is incredibly welcoming, and the amenities make life much easierâ€" especially for a busy student like me! One of my favorite amenities is the resort-style pool. It's the perfect spot to relax on a hot summer day, and I love lounging in one of the cabanas with a good book. My wife and I love exploring the nearby cafes and parks, and coming home to our cozy apartment feels like a breath of fresh air after a long day. Overall, living at Highland Communities has exceeded my expectations in every way. Highland Terrace is the spot if you are looking for a place that feels like home while being close to all the action!

Great location for students. They have nice community events with free food and drinks. They're washer and dryer system is too expensive to be so unreliable, but they're close to several bus stops and allow pets. I don't have puts myself but it's nice seeing kittycats in the windows and people walking their dogs

Property Manager at Highland Terrace Communities, Responded To This Review

The price is great, staff is friendly, and I love the location, but I have to fight mold and roaches which is unfortunate. Laundry is also far too expensive.
Property Manager at Highland Terrace Communities, Responded To This Review
Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you appreciate the price, staff, and location. Please contact the office so we can address these issues.
The place is great except the roaches. We also have some black mold but it is okay. It takes them awhile to fulfill maintenance requests. Solid price though.
Property Manager at Highland Terrace Communities, Responded To This Review
Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you find the price solid. Please contact the office so we can address your concerns promptly.
3 am music, random trash or objects left in walkways for days, no warning that laundry machines aren't taking card payments despite knowing for a week. Firepit in parking lot within 15 feet of residences. Not great, but a decent deal for the area I suppose.
Property Manager at Highland Terrace Communities, Responded To This Review
Thanks for your feedback. We have quiet hours and rules in place to avoid 3am music and firepits, so please call the courtesy officer if you experience that again. I apologize about the laundry machines. This is something we are actively working on improving.
Been here for a few weeks now and I love having my own place! 1x1 is spacious and perfect for just me. The laundry situation is sub par but theres a laundromat down the road.
Property Manager at Highland Terrace Communities, Responded To This Review
Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you're enjoying your spacious 1x1 apartment!
It would be 5/5 stars if I had in unit laundry. Overall a very great place so far! Highland Grand is very convenient to UTK campus and the strip.
Property Manager at Highland Terrace Communities, Responded To This Review
Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you find Highland Grand convenient and are enjoying your experience so far!
Love the apartment and location but parking is not great. I can easily walk to all of my classes and meet up with friends who also live in the fort which I like the most
Property Manager at Highland Terrace Communities, Responded To This Review
Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you love the apartment and location!
The service at Highland Terrace has been amazing, and the amenities are great. The only problems that I have had so far is that the paint on the walls is very cheap, and so we can’t use command strips to hang up our decorations. Other than that, I have greatly enjoyed my experience so far.
Property Manager at Highland Terrace Communities, Responded To This Review
Thanks for your positive review and feedback. We're glad you're enjoying the service and amenities!
It's definitely a little rough around the edges, but you get what you pay for, and living in the fort for under 1k a month is a literal dream.

Nice area, nice amenities but I wish the laundry was free. Close to campus. I feel very safe here and you don’t even need a parking pass because there’s so much street parking if you can parallel park

When we first moved in, the apartment was a bit uncleaned from all the paint works. The shower head was dirty. The blind was broken. The stove top required fixing. Also, there were not any shower rod. However, the management was very helpful fixing all the issues as soon as I informed them, especially Sierra.

The move in process was easy and it is very close to UTK Campus. The room was clean and everything was in working order when I got here. They could do a bit better with letting people know where things like the dumpster or laundry rooms are, but ask and you shall receive.

Not been great, bad quality apts with old appliances but new apt price ? Doesn’t add up. They do not care about what the units look like they only are concerned about the outside appearance they replaced windows with ones that you can’t clean properly and painted the buildings a horrible grey and orange and now have painted the doors blue which means my rent will definitely be going up soon, even though they didn’t even bother to sand the doors down. You’re not going to like how much you are paying for this
