Just north of Knoxville off I-75 lies the small, unincorporated community of Powell. Despite its unincorporated designation, it’s a venerable small town that has an identity all its own. A few antebellum homes still stand in the area, and the famous Airplane Service Station — around since the 1930s — is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Front Porch and Life House are two popular locally-owned spots for coffee and a bite to eat, but other than that it’s mostly familiar chains that cater to the area. There’s been a number of new apartment developments that have been constructed in the area, making this peaceful locale accessible to all. It may come as a surprise that Powell is just 15 minutes from Knoxville. After all, people travel much farther for laid-back locales like Powell.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
