Tennessee National is a master-planned community for people of all ages, especially retirees. Loads of activities, a gorgeous locale, and a safe environment are just some of the things that residents love about this 1,440-acre resort community in East Tennessee.
But this community is getting better every day for retirees, their families, and friends. Read on for seven reasons retired residents and members love Tennessee National.
Tennessee National is a planned lifestyle community just outside Knoxville in East Tennessee.
East Tennessee is known for the Appalachian and the Great Smoky Mountains and four unique seasons that wash the landscape in vibrant colors and natural beauty no matter the weather.
Tennessee National sits on a peninsula where the Tennessee River meets Watts Bar Lake. This one-of-a-kind location affords residents miles of lakeshore to enjoy year-round. Each micro-neighborhood offers different home sizes, aesthetics, and views. So whether you prefer mountain, water, golf, or wooded views, or a combination thereof, there are homes and homesites for you.
Tennessee National is also home to the Greg Norman Signature golf course, one of the Top Ten Golf Courses in Tennessee, according to Golf Digest. In 2021, significant investments were made to renovate the course and grounds, making it ideal for residents who love manicured lawns and beautiful landscaping. Your new home course is one of the premier golf courses in the state, known for being challenging yet playable for golfers of any skill level.
Staying active and healthy is a non-negotiable part of life for many retirees, but that doesn't mean you have to hit the gym or hire a trainer. With Tennessee's mild climate, you can get out and get active each season. Without ever getting into the car, you can:
Your retirement social calendar can be as full as you want to make it. The Tennessee National Social Team works tirelessly, planning exciting activities for residents and their families, with new events added almost daily. Current events include Sunday Brunches, wine pairing dinners, happy hour specials, trivia nights, intimate, outdoor live music sessions, food festivals, football watching parties, and even large outdoor concerts and music festivals. So no matter how you wish to spend your time, you’ll find many opportunities to relax and enjoy retirement life with friends and neighbors.
Feeling safe is a critical part of enjoying retirement life. Did you know that the city of Loudon has been named one of the safest places to live in the state?
In addition to choosing a safe city to call home, it also might make sense to choose a gated community with 24-hour security like Tennessee National. Private roads and a monitored gate help maintain your safety while delivering peace of mind.
Living in a 55 and older community can be great for some retirees, but if you want your loved ones living nearby, consider moving to a multi-generational resort community. Imagine having your kids and grandkids just a golf cart ride away - close enough for Sunday dinner, but not so close that you don't get the peace and privacy you want in retirement.
The size and scope of amenities offered in a community like Tennessee National mean you will have many opportunities to spend quality time with the people you love without sacrificing comfort or privacy.
You don't want to get bored living your best years! When choosing where to retire, be sure to ask what kinds of amenities and projects are being planned now and in the future.
