Knoxville Senior AdvisorWest Knoxville is where the Kingston Pike corridor runs from Bearden past West Town to Cedar Bluff, and it holds the densest cluster of senior living in the region. Parkwest Medical Center sits in 37923 and Knoxville Rehabilitation Hospital in 37909, so many families here choose a community partly for how quickly a doctor's appointment or ER visit can happen.
The trade-off is traffic: a two-mile trip on Kingston Pike at 5 p.m. can take as long as a drive from Farragut. When comparing West Knoxville buildings, ask about transportation to appointments and whether the community schedules outings outside rush hour.
