Love where you work
Tucked in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, both Athens and Etowah blend the tranquility of small-town life with convenient access to larger-city amenities in nearby Knoxville and Chattanooga, both less than an hour away. An idyllic place to build a life and raise a family, the region’s schools are well-rated, and festivals and events are family friendly. Here, you can explore Athens’ quaint downtown with a courthouse square, local shops and eateries, along with historic sites, museums, wineries and distilleries. Outdoors enthusiasts love being close to the surrounding mountains and waterways for hiking, fishing and whitewater rafting, all experienced in four mild seasons.
