North Hills is one of several post World War I and pre-World War II subdivisions that has attracted prominent Knoxvillians, including Cas Walker and Patricia Neal. The area, built over 185 acres, features quaint homes with unique architectural styles including Tudor, Spanish Eclectic and Colonial Revival.
More than 150 homes are listed on the National and Tennessee Registers of Historic Places. If you live on the boulevards, your house may be included.

** A note from Amy: The data about the average price of homes sold is low for North Hills due to some foreclosures over the past year in that neighborhood that pull down the average. Perspective homebuyers should be aware that there can be bidding wars over these older homes, especially those located on North Hills Boulevard.
