Strawberry Plains, TN

Strawberry Plains sits along the Holston River just east of Knoxville, right where Knox, Jefferson, and Sevier counties meet. It is a quiet, spread-out community defined by rolling farmland, river views, and a relaxed country atmosphere. Interstate 40 and Strawberry Plains Pike run directly through the area, giving residents an easy commute into downtown Knoxville and quick connections across East Tennessee.
