I love Maryville! Great vid.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom about Maryville and keeping it real. I enjoy learning through you! I am looking forward to finding my perfect home in Maryville 😊

Thank you for posting this! We are moving to the Maryville/Greenback area in a few months. We did some initial research on eastern TN and really liked what Maryville had to offer with history, access to services and proximity to Knoxville, the airport, and 40 ish minutes to the smokies. We are looking forward to exploring Maryville and your videos definitely help us create a list of places to check out!

We moved to Maryville 3 years ago. While we're glad to be in TN, and are now settled, we wish we'd checked some of the towns further-out that aren't growing so fast and furious. Suffice it to say, the infrastructure is not able to keep up with the exploding population. The traffic is becoming horrific at almost any time of the day. Knoxville is in the list of cities with the highest traffic fatalities. Crime has more than doubled since we've been here and the police force is understaffed. The schools are very over-crowded. In fact, twice they've had to cancel because they didn't have enough staff. We know Niche rates the Maryville city schools highly, but they were very disappointing for our family. They show Disney movies the last two weeks of the year, all day, while it's the nicest weather in the TN year outside. They rely heavily on screens for everything. The kids are also pretty violent. Suffice it to say, the first year living here we had 6 grandkids enrolled in the public-schools and only two still attend. The others are homeschooled or in (very expensive) private schools. Maryville College is very Woke. As for Health Care, Blount County is not a real forward-thinking hospital. We spent a few years hanging-out there while my elderly father was in and out . The best health-care in the state is in Memphis, but, it's Memphis. But there are nice cities outside of it. And before you move within 100 miles of Oak-Ridge, do a deep-dive on the Cancer clusters in this area and how their development of the nuclear reactors have affected the water-table, lakes, etc. I do agree with this video as far as there being plenty of places to eat and shop, (fast-food everywhere) and lots of things to do.

I lived in Knox Co. last 3.5 years after escaping the nightmare of Illinois. Oak Ridge may be further from the Smokies but they are much closer to the Cumberland Mountains which provide their own recreational opportunities. The problem with the Great Smoky Mountains NP is it's too popular. Visiting GSMNP in the summer can be like vising the Los Angeles freeway system in rush hour.

Awesome video, you did a fantastic job here! I'm actually looking to move to Maryville or Townsend and leaving MI.

Haley. Do a video about living in the mountain communities like Look Rock Estates.

How are the new houses near Lambert Acres Golf Course? Is that a good area?

Focus lady.

would you rather commute from seymour to downtown knox, or Maryville to dtown knox ?

Hi Haley, my family is planning a move to Tennessee in the next year. We were pretty settled on Crossville but then started looking at the tornado history of the Cumberland Plateau. Tell me about Rockwood and Spring City. I have seen that it is in a High Risk Area, but what isn't? Maryville is on our radar due to it not being in Middle Tennessee. Help!

Louisville is pronounced ‘loo eh vull’. Maryville is pronounced ‘murr eh vull’. You’re welcome.

How about 3 reasons not to move to Maryville… 1. farmland is becoming non existent due to developers piling up cookie cutter builder grade homes that you can stand in between with your arms expanded and be able to touch two houses. 2. Schools and roads have become severely overcrowded. 3. The overflow of new construction single family homes and apartments being piled up here has drove the housing market and cost of living through the roof. Utilities have went up per the utility company to compensate for the amount of people that have moved here. Quit advertising what used to be a peaceful town to live in before it gets any worse.

So an honest review for anyone considering moving to Maryville, #1 if you're from California, they have a prenotiom about us. I've gotten some hateful comments. They think we are all democratic and rich. A couple of merchants tried to charge me more once they knew I was from CA. Also #2, if YOU ARE NOT white, expect some racism. I didn't expect that moving here because I thought it was an exaggeration in the media but believe me, it's alive and well and lives here in Maryville. 3rd it's a beautiful town but the job market is low paying and the cost of living doesn't match that. Great place to visit if you're going to the Smokies but that's about it.
