Why Live in Knoxville TN

Where we live depends on a number of different factors, like how easy it is to afford cars and SUVs or the quality of local schools and more. Yet when it comes down to it, there are several key areas where one city in Northeast Tennessee stands out from the staff at Lance Cunningham Ford in Knoxville, TN.

Housing vs. Family Income – Knoxville homes are some of the least expensive in the nation with a median price of just over $100,000 for the metropolitan area. However, that does not mean very much unless one compares it to income, or ability to pay off a mortgage or handle monthly rent. Median family income in Northeast Tennessee is just one-half of the cost of a home, making it easy to find a place to live without going into much debt.

Income Tax and Car Insurance Bills – Tennessee has no income tax rate, which means that a dollar earned can go much further than it does in other states. When considering new cars from dealerships that offer it’s also important to note that it costs 30 percent less to insure a vehicle compared to the national average.

Education – The University of Tennessee’s main campus is in Knoxville and that affords opportunities for career advancement at in-state tuition rates. More importantly for families, average test scores are significantly better than the state average for younger children. While there are a number of private schools for families, this data on successful students in the surrounding cities including Maryville, TN heavily focuses on the strong public education system in the area.

Getting Around and Cultural Opportunities – Buyers considering a Ford have a number of options around them with museums and libraries nearby as well as more than 1,000 restaurants offering a variety of cuisines on offer. Just as important is commute time, or how many hours per day families and working parents can spend on these activities. Knoxville residents spend more than 15 minutes each way, one of the shortest trips in the country, affording a lot of scheduling flexibility for doing whatever a family enjoys.

Knoxville combines affordability and a small-town feel that makes it attractive to both young and seasoned professionals. In addition, with very temperate weather, outdoor activities such as hiking and camping in the mountains are a possibility throughout the year, especially for people who are shopping for SUVs like the Ford Escape in Maryville, TN.

There is also a friendliness that Lance Cunningham Ford employees take great pride in sharing with new car buyers. Working within the community includes fundraising for breast cancer charities by the same people who can help customers find the right car, truck or SUV for their needs.
