Featured Market: Tennessee

This featured market includes Knoxville, Memphis, Nashville and other cities.

Our nation's "Volunteer State", Tennessee stretches from the Mississippi River to the Great Smoky Mountains and consists of three diverse geographic regions -- the west, middle and east.

Knoxville, located in the eastern region at the headwaters of the Tennessee River, is the home of over 5,500 acres of parks, including the country's most visited national park, the Great Smoky Mountains. Because of its location, Knoxville and surrounding areas offer skiing, white-water rafting, fishing, hiking, camping and other outdoor activities.

Memphis is located in the western region. This city is the home of Elvis Presley, the birth of the blues and many music and food festivals. In addition to great food and music, Memphis is also known for its nightlife, parks and Mud Island's amphitheater.

Nashville, known as "Music City USA," is centrally located and the home of the Country Music Hall of Fame as well as the Grand Ole Opry. Residents of this musical city have all the amenities of a big city while enjoying a small town feel.
