What is Belltown?

Located near the edge of Karns bordering Powell, Belltown is a Master Planned, multi-generational community designed for all lifestyles. Belltown will offer diverse lot sizes accommodating a variety of different floor plans, offered across all price points. The mix of developments will include stately homes on spacious 1/2 acre lots, a variety of tailored single-family homes, neo-traditional homes with rear entry garages, master on main condominiums for 55+ living, two story townhomes, luxury apartments, and a centrally located Town Center featuring retail stores, restaurants, and other stores and shops to serve the entire Karns and Powell communities. Belltown residents will enjoy an abundance of amenities scattered throughout the property, and all of Knoxville will enjoy the 40+ acre public park that will be the focus and anchor of Belltown. We envision the public park to feature recreation fields, an expansive playground, an elaborate dog park, an extensive kayak area, a food truck park, and an amphitheater all connected by walking trails and greenspace. Belltown will not only be called to home by the residents, but Belltown will serve the entire community and be a staple of Knoxville, Tennessee.
