About Central

Tucked comfortably between Johnson City and Elizabethton, Central is a quiet Carter County community that offers relaxed living with easy access to the broader Tri-Cities. The area is mostly made up of scenic country roads, established homes, and Central Elementary School on Taylor Road, which serves as the neighborhood's long-standing anchor. It is an ideal spot for anyone looking for a peaceful, residential setting where everyday shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation in neighboring towns are only a short drive away.
